And this suggests strongly that the generally held assumption that FoxTools stuff was moved over to "native" with only cosmetic revisions is incorrect.

>>So, FoxTools is just a little better here - it will return the first word correctly. Since FoxTools in VFP7 is actually a recompiled leftover from VFP6, I expect the results under 6 to be the same.
