>Hello Hilmar,
>>Another editing feature you may not be aware of:
>>Type some text in the Command window. Might be several lines.
>>Select it.
>>Press ENTER.
>>VFP will execute this code. (Since it creates a temporary PRG to do this, variables declared in the code may be non-existent later on.)

>Yes, that one I knew of, and have used quite regularly. I think that was introduced in VFP7, so it was mentioned in some of the presentations that I saw at GLGDW in Milwaukee last fall. The Tab-to-indent was new to me. There must be dozens of nifty shortcuts in the VFP IDE.

Selecting and executing code in the Command Window works in VFP 6. I don't have VFP 7 yet. I am quite sure it was introduced only in version 6.

Tab and Shift-Tab works in VFP 6, but I think it was introduced in version 5.
