Ron,
Normally I take memlines() or array processing approach as already presented by folks. Here is a simple nasty trick to do it in another way (just for fun):

lcString = "hello,there,from,fox"
loDummy = createobject('combobox')
with loDummy
 .RowSourceType = 1 && Value delimited with commas
 .RowSource = lcString
 dimension arrElems[.ListCount]
 for ix=1 to .ListCount
   arrElems[ix] = .List(ix)
 endfor
endwith
loDummy = .null.
release loDummy
disp memo like arrElems
