>Not sure where it originated from, but it's been used since I've worked with Fox in the early 80's to mean a small section of code or a 'code snippet.' I think the term itself (outside of programming) means: a small piece of anything including a piece of something that has been snipped off or cut out.

The term came into FoxPro with the Power Tools in 2.0. It was used to describe the bits of code we could write for what we would now call events.
