>DEtails are in help under "Setting Configuration Options at Startup", where it says "Visual FoxPro reads the configuration file when starting up, establishing the settings and executing the commands in the file. Settings made in the configuration file override default settings made in the Options dialog box (and stored in the Windows registry)."

I boo-booed real bad - glad you were around!
