SYMPTOMS
When MACDESKTOP = ON, clicking the main FoxPro window moves it in front of the Command window.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Command window is not a part of the main FoxPro window as it is in both FoxPro for Windows and FoxPro for MS-DOS. Issuing the SET MACDESKTOP OFF command after FoxPro has started does not affect this relationship because the "desktop" state of the Command window is determined prior to the execution of any user code.



RESOLUTION
If you want the Command window to behave as it does in FoxPro for Windows and FoxPro for MS-DOS, add the following line to the CONFIG.FPM file: MACDESKTOP = OFF



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
