PRB: Cursor Does Not Appear in Command Window

ID: Q97425

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, and 2.5a

SYMPTOMS

When you start FoxPro, the cursor does not appear in the Command window.

CAUSE

This behavior usually occurs on computers without F11 and F12 keys that have older BIOS versions that return "yes" when FoxPro tests for the presence of these keys.

RESOLUTION

To avoid this problem, place the following command in the CONFIG.FP file:

   F11F12 = OFF

The FllF12 = OFF command prevents FoxPro from attempting to use the F11 and F12 keys.
