Screens
-------

1. Q. Every time I try to generate a specific screen, I have to
      add my supporting screens to the screen set. How can I avoid this
      problem?

   A. To save these options, you must create a project and include the
      screens as a screen set.
  
2. Q. When I create a screen set with more than one window, how do
      I move through my windows?

   A. To cycle through the windows of your screen set, use the PAGE UP
      key, the PAGE DOWN key, or modify the value of the system memory
      variable _CUROBJ.

Importing Data Files
--------------------
  
1. Q. How do I import a data file into Microsoft FoxPro for
      MS-DOS?

   A. To import a data file, use either the IMPORT command or the
      APPEND FROM command. A wide range of file formats is supported.
      Please refer to the APPEND FROM command in the "Commands & Functions"
      manual for a complete list of the supported file formats. If you are
      receiving the error message "String too long to fit," insert a
      carriage return and a linefeed after each string of data.
  
Using BROWSE
------------

1. Q. I modified the structure of my database, but when I use the
      BROWSE command on the file, I don't see the changes.

   A. If you cannot see your changes, you are most likely using the
      BROWSE command from the System menu or the View panel, or you are
      issuing a BROWSE LAST or BROWSE PREFERENCE command from the
      Command window. To see these structural changes, you must first
      issue a plain BROWSE command from the Command window to display
      the new default version of the database.
  
2. Q. When I press the CTRL+N shortcut key combination in my
      program to append a new record in the Browse window, I get the
      musical note instead. How can I correct this problem?
  
   A. CTRL+N is a shortcut key combination associated with the System
      menu. In your program, you need to issue the command SET SYSMENU ON 
      and/or use a BROWSE command instead of the BROWSE NOMENU
      command.
