Believe it or not, I have the more obscure use of $ in literally hundreds of places in some FPD26 apps! I haven't looked at that in some time so when I do come across it in old code, I have to refresh my memory as to what I was doing at the time! :o)

m.IsThis $ m.InHere the "IsThis" string is searched for in the "InHere" string and if it is found then a .T. will be returned. So if m.IsThis contains "Fox" and m.InHere contains "Visual FoxPro" then it will return .T.
