The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.5b
Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b

When the FCREATE() function is used, FoxPro for Macintosh creates a FoxPro document; by default, the Creator and Type of the file are set to:

   Creator - foxx
   Type    - TEXT

You can change the Creator and Type of a Macintosh file from within FoxPro for Macintosh. For example, to change the Creator of the file to TeachText (ttxt), issue the following commands:

   SET LIBRARY TO FOXTOOLS
   =FxSetType( "<filename>", "TEXT", "ttxt" ) && To change to TeachText
