The thing is though, that even if Seek() had a 'DESC' parameter,
Seek() have none DESC parameter.
you still couldn't use it to do what you're doing below because SET NEAR also doesn't mean anything to Seek().

Why say you this ? You still have confidence in the documentation of VFP?
Run this:
clear
CREATE CURSOR myC ( aaa I )
INSERT INTO myC VALUES (1)
INSERT INTO myC VALUES (3)
INDEX ON aaa TAG tag1
SET NEAR OFF
GO TOP
? SEEK(2),aaa,EOF()
SET NEAR ON
GO TOP
? SEEK(2),aaa,EOF()
