Visual FoxPro has not included documentation in the box for many versions, as well as about every other Microsoft product. The documentation for VFP 8.0 is included on the CD and with install, plus online at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_foxhelp/html/vfp8_vfp7startpage.asp.
