SUMMARY
=======

The Language Reference manual text on the NOCONSOLE clause of the
SELECT-SQL states:

   Including NOCONSOLE prevents the query results from being displayed on
   the desktop or main FoxPro window. NOCONSOLE can be used whether or not
   a TO clause is present. If an INTO clause is included, NOCONSOLE is
   ignored.

In fact, if neither the TO or INTO clause is included, the results of the
query are displayed in the form of a browse window.

If the TO clause is used, NOCONSOLE is effective, even overriding a
"TO Screen" clause. If the user doesn't need an "INTO" and doesn't want the
query results displayed on the screen he or she can use the combination of
"TO Screen" and "NOCONSOLE" to achieve a non-display of results.

If the INTO clause is used, such as "INTO Cursor Mycursor" or "INTO
Table temp.dbf," the results of the query will not be displayed on the
screen whether or not the NOCONSOLE clause is used.
