Years ago there was a popular tool called "DBRIEF". It was a programming editor for xbase, and it ran on the MODIFY COMMAND xbase command. It had a lot of tools that facillitated the writing of code. Is there currently such a product on the market?
 
While you can still substitute an external editor for the built in one, it only works on .PRG files and you will find the majority of coding not there in VFP.

You may want to try the COB Editor add on (available at It's free and combined with the many enhancements to the VFP editor over the years, it may provide the functionally that you require from the old (DOS?) dBrief editor.

Note: The additional editor functionality and intellisense capabilities being previewed in the VFP 7.0 beta are quite impressive, and like most of the VFP interface features are table driven and extensible.
