>Also, here's another gripe: IMO, the HELP on VFP should include which version a new command or function was added. And it would be nice to say which verion had which enhancements to existing commands. And worse, is the HELP (or complete lack thereof) for deprecated commands and functions. It makes it real hard to convert an old FoxPro app when you can't find help on the old commands.
That part bothers me, too. It should suffice to say a command is "deprecated" or "for backward-compatibility", without eliminating all the help text. It may even happen that a "deprecated" command is still useful, in ways not foreseen by the VFP team.
