David,
It's just a display problem for you. They'd show correctly on a system where Greek is set as default.
As Emre said you could switch your language to Greek from control panel (ie: I use an English version of XP and if I ever need to see what I type in Turkish correct I switch to Turkish (and reboot) - luckily I'm accustomed to read Turkish chars even when they're displaying wrong:)
For your files you could use 'AS nCodepage' additonal clause. For tables you could use home()+'tools\cpzero\cpzero' to update any codepage (remember most of the files in VFP are tables like dbf, scx, vcx, mnx, frx).
If you continue to work in English setting, modify your home()+'config.fpw' to have a line :
Codepage=1254 && Use nCodepage for Greek - 1254 is Turkish codepage
That makes it easy to work with files w/o explicitly specifyin 'as nCodepage'.
