Hi,

Why would U make the cursors behave differently other than tables ?

Eg:

close all
create cursor abcd (abcd C(200))
selec abcd
?cursorgetprop("buffering","abcd") && returns 1
?maketran("abcd") && returns .t.
** now Open this again
use dbf('abcd') in 0 again alias abcd1 && opens
select abcd1
?cursorgetprop("buffering","abcd1") && returns 5 && accepted as  this is opened as a table

close all
create cursor abcd (abcd C(200))
selec abcd
?cursorgetprop("buffering","abcd") && returns 1
** now Open this again
use dbf('abcd') in 0 again alias abcd1 && opens
?cursorgetprop("buffering","abcd") && returns 1
?maketran("abcd") && returns error because opened again as a table abcd1 -- this would hamper all those opend again in different work areas......
select abcd1
?cursorgetprop("buffering","abcd1") && returns 5 && accepted as  this is opened as a table
?cursorgetprop("buffering",1,"abcd1") 
?maketran("abcd") && returns .T.

So it would be better for the cursor to follow cursorsetprop("buffering" .... (my wish) .. to keep it more simple ?
