Commands included for backward compatibility

[chpicker]

I have been working with inherited code for some time now, and while I've figured out what almost all of it does (MSDN help files are quite thorough), they have absolutely NO information on any commands which are obsolete. While this helps us to use the new methods, what it doesn't do is help me figure out what the heck the existing code does. Is there any reference left online that would tell me the syntax of these old commands?

Doesn't answer your question but posting a list might stir the memories of some of the old timers here.

Well, you can find description of many obsolete commands in the hacker's guide. Try to find also old help file(s) for FoxPro 2.6 for Windows or earlier versions. There are some very useful functions, like MCOL(), MROW(), MDOWN() etc.
