Hi Thanks for this. I have a dBase III+ manual which doesn't even cover what you have written. I have added comments in the manual for future help.

It proves how good FoxPro was 30 plus years ago and still going strong.

I think there should be a dropdown menu for lines where you can chosse the thickness. I use PSP version 8 so I'll check mine and come back. PT

Hi What version of PSP are you using?

Hi Joast, Sorry about the delay in responding. I have used version 8 for many years but I didn't know they had reached version 20. It may be worth looking for some details on the Internet about later versions.

Is it version or version 20?

Hi Simo, There were a lot of manuals about in the day, mainly dBase III of which I still have a couple. I will have a look through these to see which is closest to what you mention in your text. PhilT

Hi, I am using PSP version 8, so your screens may be a little different to mine. Version 5 is very old. I was assuming your main screen contained HELP not one of the sub screens. There were a lot of improvements made for versions 7 onwards.

Have you by any chance changed the browser preferences without realising. Take a look at the Help section for the Browser on top right of the main screen. PhilT

Hi Joe, In the long run you will be better off with Visual FoxPro, even one of the older versions. Language is the same as dBase but Foxpro Updates advanced much quicker. Phil T.

I've not seen these free downloads, but worth a try if still available. Latest FoxPro is still available but not free. Phil T.

Yes they do. Phil T.

Hi, Yes, that is what we would do until the later versions appeared. You could try ebay for a copy of Dbase IV, I have seen it advertised on the odd occasion. After some of the quirks in the old Dbase programs I started to use Foxpro which I am still doing today. Phil T.

Hi Joe Upto Dbase III plus, memo fields were not easy to access for inputting to. Move the cursor until it reaches the memo field, then press the combination of CTRL and PgDown keys. The screen should clear and the Dbase word processor appear at the top. You are now in that word processing...

Hello Joe, What version of Dbase are you using? Phil T
