SUMMARY
Typing HELP <topic> in the Command window does not bring up the Help topic
on the specified command or function if that command or function is one of
the new dBASE supported commands. Approximately 50 new commands and
functions for dBASE compatibility were added to FoxPro since version 2.5.
Most of them do not have Help topics.
This documentation error has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.
To locate the Help topic for these new commands, type HELP in the Command
window. Then select "What's New Since FoxPro 2.5." Scroll through the help
topics to locate the "New FoxPro Commands and Functions" topic. Syntax and
details about the new commands and functions are documented there.
Here are the new commands and functions not found with HELP in FoxPro for
MS-DOS versions 2.6 and 2.6a:
@...SCROLL
ASSIST
BARCOUNT()
BARPROMPT()
FDATE()
FLDCOUNT()
FLDLIST()
FTIME()
ID()
ON EXIT BAR
ON EXIT MENU
ON EXIT PAD
ON EXIT POPUP
