Within the vfp framework you can work in the command window or you can open a file and work with it. As a matter of fact, if you want to work in vfp, you have no choice but to work within the framework. I have seen many a newbie advised that vfp is the way to go for fast, easy learning, so why does everything change when I talk about frameworks that work with perl, php, java, c#, etc. ?
