The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft FoxPro for UNIX, version 2.6
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

There are five startup switches for FoxPro for UNIX: -c, -e, -I, -o,
and -t. This article explains how to use each switch.

MORE INFORMATION
================

-c/<pathname>/<file>
--------------------

Use -c to specify the location of the CONFIG.FPU configuration file. Insert
the path in the <pathname> position to specify the directory where the
CONFIG.FPU is located, and insert the name of the CONFIG.FPU file in the
<file> position. If the <file> item is not included, add a forward slash
(/) after the <pathname> item to force FoxPro to look for the existing
CONFIG.FPU file.

-e
--

Use -e to disable the mouse in FoxPro for UNIX.

-i
--

Use -i to treat the input device as a serial terminal. By using this switch
on the console, you can test the Keystroke Equivalents. For more
information about this technique, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   ARTICLE-ID: Q120950
   TITLE     : INF: FoxPro for UNIX Keystroke Equivalents for Terminals

Using the -i switch can also be useful when using a keyboard designed for a
language other than English. For example, when using a French keyboard, the
French configuration disappears inside FoxPro for UNIX unless you use the
-i switch.

-o
--

Use -o to treat the output device as a serial terminal.

-t
--

Use -t to suppress the FoxPro sign-on screen.
