>It's a bug in VFP help. The system policy is called noRecentDocsHistory. You can find more info at http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/en-us/default.asp?url=/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/en-us/regentry/93170.asp. I'm not sure if it has any effect on VFP command window history. Is set to 1 on my PC but VFP command window history still works.
