Peter,
But it's optional. If table is selected and tag is ready then you might drop lMovePointer too. Syntax showing that if you want any parameter after lMovepointer then you should provide lMovePointer too, else optional.

ie:
select mytable
set order to tag myorder
*...
indexseek('myValue') && lMovePointer defaults to .f.


This one wrong :
indexseek('myValue',,'myTable') && VFP doesn't support this VBA like param. omitting

PS: There was a discussion about its behaviour. You might want to search.
