Hi Jim,

if it watches with accuracy, you will see that in some points it is gotten worse.

A soft example:

OLEGiveFeedback
On VFP8 the parameters are called "Property Values"
mistaken, but it does not create confusion

On VFP9b the parameters are called "Return Value" !
first image it creates confusion, after the mind ut is resumed.

I see others hard examples, but I do not make more case us.

cheers
