Michel;

Taken from behavioral psychology frustration is “the inability to attain a goal”.

Now if your “goal” was to change the behavior of how Visual FoxPro handles commented areas you are attempting to resolve something not within your immediate control. You simply have to realize your limitations as a human being and seek a different route to resolve this issue.

Look at this behavior as a half-fulfilled dream that has bitten so many! I would like to suggest that rather than take the illogical manner in which this “feature” operates and either accept it or take action!

Taking action can take many forms and can lead you into other problems. Drinking too much alcohol, notifying Microsoft of your findings, and changing to another programming language are possibilities you could explore. Each one has its downsides.

* I wish you the best in life
* and hope you never again
* are bitten by this BUG!!!;, && ouch

>The ; at the end of the comment line should be a comment and not a continuity as we are in a comment line. It didn't occur to me to think that it would take the next line as a comment.
