ID: Q118920

The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft FoxPro for UNIX, version 2.6

In FoxPro for UNIX, you can suppress the FoxPro startup screen by setting the FOXPROSWX environment variable before starting FoxPro. For example:

Bourne Shell

   FOXPROSWX=-t ; export FOXPROSWX

   -or-

   FOXPROSWX="-t" ; export FOXPROSWX

C-Shell

   setenv FOXPROSWX -t

   -or-

   setenv FOXPROSWX "-t"
To use more than one startup switch, use the following syntax. These examples will eliminate the startup screen (-t) and disable the mouse (-e):

Bourne Shell

   FOXPROSWX='-t -e'; export FOXPROSWX

C-Shell

   setenv FOXPROSWX '-t -e'
