displaying output to screen on startup

[hbotnick]

I have VFP.6 under Windows XP. When I start foxpro, and I type dir in command window, all I get is a blank screen even though I do have database files in my default directory. Also, any other command such as disp stat also does not echo to screen. What can I do ?

Have a look at your config.fpw file.
Perhaps you've got a line in it like:
screen = off
or console = off
if so comment those lines out.

Also you might try typing SET CONSOLE ON
