>Hello Foxperts,

>I'm experiencing some odd behavior with regard to the command window history being saved. Sometimes new lines are saved and sometimes not. I've searched the hard drive(s) and found 4 copies of _command.prg, one in the C:\WINNT\profiles\..... and three more on the D:\ drive in various project development directories.

>That being as it is, I should say that I use a small form that I've developed to move to the directory of choice for whatever I'm working on at the moment. In the click event of various buttons I've coded a SET DEFAULT TO D:\FoxApps\.....

>One question I have: Is there any difference between SET DEFAult and CHDIR? I've read the help, and they apppear to say that both commands do the same thing.

There's no difference between them as long as they used with parameter (path).

>Another question: Is there something that affects the 'permanent' setting in Tools...Options...File Locations tab? My Default Directory and Resource File locations sometimes change, even when I press the 'Set As Default' button, either at the next session or the next day.

SET RESOURCE TO command somewhere in the code could change the name or/and location of the Resource File.
