SUMMARY
FoxPro for Windows uses the Windows-style Help system by default. However, if you prefer, you can use the .DBF-style Help system. To do so, enter the following command in the Command window:

SET HELP TO FOXHELP.DBF

Pressing F1 or choosing Contents from the menu will then open the .DBF-style Help system.

To return to the Windows-style Help system, enter the following command in the Command window:

SET HELP TO FOXHELP.HLP

To permanently change to the .DBF-style Help system, add this statement to your CONFIG.FPW file:

HELP=FOXHELP.DBF
