>I get it, which is why I am avidly learning Object COBOL !!!

I have actually seen Cobol .NET code. It is weird to see the different divisons (Data, Environment, etc) in a .NET module. The Fujitsu Cobol stuff actually received play at the 2 day .NET road show...

I laugh to myself every time I think about it. The question is, what I am actually laughing at????

No doubt there. And, depending on how you worked things with VFP - that experience will help too...
