  • Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.5

SYMPTOMS

In FoxPro 2.5 for MS-DOS, issuing the command 

   ?SET('COLOR')
returns two color pairs and "N." The two color pairs are for static text (@ ... SAY) and data edit areas (@ ... GET). The "N" specifies the color for the video border or frame.

In FoxPro 2.5 for Windows, issuing the same command returns a null string.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro version 2.5 for Windows. This problem was corrected in FoxPro version 2.5a for Windows.
