>WHEN I click cmd button 'Quit' the 'clea events' command there leaves foxpro hanging and unable to 'quit foxpro'. Have I misplace the clea event?

When you run app from VFP environment, you still there after "Clear Events", and it should be OK for development purposes (else you would reload vfp after each test :). When you run Executable it will be finished completely by Clear Events.
