Terry,

>So VFP will read and process a CONFIG.FPW file, if there is one, in the startup directory. This will apply to PRGs.

Or it will read the one specified in the -C command-line switch. This one takes precedence.


>A VFP EXE [also] starts VFP, which exlpains why the CONFIG.FPW takes hold when I run the EXE.

It doesn't start VFP but uses VFP runtime libraries that process CONFIG.FPW in simmilar manner.
