- Someone a little while ago posted that there is something on CompuServe
- in the fox forum that lets you do scrollable windows a-la the command
- window. I havent tried it, but the basic comment sounds like it's a
- pain in the neck, but it works well.

- You can do whatever you want at startup- with the COMMAND= line in your
- CONFIG.FP. I have COMMAND=init, then init.prg has all the stuff I want to
- do- setting global variables etc, and the line 'modify project <pname>
- nowait'. The nowait is important- it tells foxpro to continue the .prg
- before the project being modified is closed.
