When you use Visual FoxPro version 5.0a under a Japanese Operating System (OS), and you enter Double-Byte Japanese Characters in a text box or the Visual FoxPro Command window, the text is unreadable after the Enter or Return key is pressed.



RESOLUTION
Install Visual Studio Service Pack 2 from:

 * 2) Type in some Japanese Characters in the Visual FoxPro Command window. NOTE: Instead of Japanese characters, unreadable characters appear.
