Thanks for your explanation, Mike.

>>>>I hope that clarified things more than confusing them! Now let me ask something of you: try to compile and run the examples I cited, and tell me what you find out using VFP6 SP5. Just create this 1-line program, calling it test.prg:

RETURN TO anything .F.

This gives a compile error in VFP 6.0 SP5.

>>>>Then also try this:

RETURN TO anything 1 && that this works proves VFP Help doc is in error

This compiles ok.

? test()

This produces a 1 as the print result.

Well, there is a bug, in the docs or in VFP! (I'm facing something strange with the RichTextBox control, too... It would be fine if somebody from the VFP team said some words about that, though <s>)
