>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.

So I see...Webster's II has for snippet 1) "tidbit," and 2) "a small mischievous person" (this is a little like "muppets," maybe).

I don't think I'd heard the term before I began using the Fox, though it's hard to be sure.

The next Webster's def is interesting too: Snippety 2) = "Snippy" :-)

>>Or was that "muppets"? Been a while now...

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

Thank you, again. You are becoming our leading historian, Tamar!
