Hi Bill,

thats me in the morning with two faces ::) ::(.

I will start with the good news

LPARAMETERS Para1,Para2
*or
LPARAMETERS;
 Para1,;
 Para2

will do the job in my foxpro, even without the leading * * * PROCEDURE.

Until now I never used PARAMETERS.

And now the bad news.
tho whole thing fails if you code like:

LPARAMETERS;
Para1,;
 Para2

the space infront of Para1 is important.

and now the harder one

If the result of inheritance (the line to display on top of empty method) exeeds a total number of charactwer somwhere larger 230 [my guess is 255, but untested] I receive a C0000005 error.
