Here is what seems to be an undocumented little trick to find out the settings in the options of VFP.

> VFP, go into Tools/Options, hold down Shift, click OK button, entire
> settings dumpted to Command Window!

P.S. And this worked all the way back to VFP5.0!

As you may have noticed the tip is in quotation, meaning that I'm quoting someone else, and this was seen on a French FoxPro newsgroup, and the author was anonymous, so...

Given the reception, either Eguy or Mike should probably make this a FAQ.

Actually, that tip has been mentioned here times before, including

thread184-42545
thread184-34051

But as you elude, it is a gem that often goes unmined. IIRC, it was available in VFP3.

I think this demonstrates how important it is for us to take a little time and write an faq when we see something cool. I know we don't want to flood our faq section with junk, so it is a judgement call on whether you think it is valuable.

In this case - the prior posts were 3 years ago and you can hardly fault anyone for not remembering them or finding them.
