There is a simple procedure that can help speed the process of editing Dbase programs. Use your word processor, or Sidekick to change your CONFIG.DB file. On the last line insert the drive\directory\command to run your word processor. Mine looks like this:
TEDIT=C:\WORD\WORD
After this is done, when you type MODIFY COMMAND in Dbase, it will use your word processor to edit. When you exit the word processor, you will be right back at the dot prompt. Try it, you'll like it much better than the Dbase text editor.
I like Word because of its mouse support. Copying and deleting large portions of text seems to go faster. Some programmers like SFPC because it will insert line numbers.
Word has this option also.
Whichever word processor you use, you will be editing those .PRG files much faster.
