Good point, DOrris. I came to VFP from Clipper/DOS programming via a detour through PB and Oracle PowerObjects, and STILL don't know a Foundation Read from a Science Fiction novel. I also saw a LOT of Clipper coders refuse to learn any Windows program - VFP, Visual Objects, Delphi..... They're still hanging onto old DOS apps.
