## SUMMARY

The command-line switches supported in FoxPro for Windows and FoxPro for MS- DOS are not supported in FoxPro for Macintosh.

## MORE INFORMATION

Since the Macintosh environment does not allow the use of command-line switches, the following switches are not supported in FoxPro for Macintosh:

       -C = Specify configuration file
       -E = Prevent use of all expanded memory
       -K = Prevent attempts to use F11 or F12
       -T = Suppress FoxPro sign-on screen

## RESOLUTION

To emulate the -C switch, double-click the CONFIG.FPM file that is desired. FoxPro will then execute and use that configuration file.
The -E and -K switches are not needed in the Macintosh environment.
The -T switch is no longer supported by FoxPro for Macintosh. However, it is still supported by FoxPro for Windows & FoxPro for MS-DOS.
