Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.6a

SYMPTOMS

Foxtools.mlb is loaded and called.
Pressing CTRL+Q or typing QUIT in the Command window are used to exit FoxPro.

WORKAROUND

At this time the only workaround is to not use Ramdoubler in conjunction with Foxtools.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

2. Run an application in FoxPro that uses Foxtools - such as the Setup

   Wizard.

3. When the application finishes, press CTRL+Q to exit from FoxPro.
