It works when I store a .prg's contents in it that are up to 128 lines so far. Actually, since we only use FPD26 and VFP7/VFP8 I should be okay as far as the versions go. I have the Hacker's Guide at home so I cannot check it here at work. What is the limit of FPUT? Do you know off the top of your head? During testing, I was reading the memo field line by line and writing it to the .prg file that way, but then when I tested it reading it all in at once and writing it all at once, it worked so I changed it. Guess I'll change it back to be safe.
