Contains options to specify color and font to identify Visual FoxPro program elements, such as keywords and comments, in the command window and in all editing windows — except those opened with the MODIFY FILE or MODIFY MEMO commands.

When you choose Set As Default — which appears on every tab in the dialog box — Visual FoxPro saves the option settings in the registry (system Windows registration database).
