>I used to wonder if inspiration for the term came out of Henson's "moppets" somehow...not quite sure how they're related, though...except for the "cutesy" sort of name, maybe.

The word itself wasn't created for FoxPro. It's been around a long time. The American Heritage Dictionary says "A bit, scrap, or morsel" while Webster's offers "A small part or piece." Both have quotes that use the word.

It's "muppets." "Moppets" are cute, little kids (and that word presumably did play into "puppets" becoming "muppets").
