From the Window menu, choose Screen. This restores the Screen, but hides the Command window. 2. From the Window menu, choose Command. This redisplays the Command window in front of the Screen window. 

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
The introductory, or "splash," screen is a dialog box titled "Welcome to Microsoft FoxPro version 2.6a for Macintosh."

This problem occurs in both FoxPro for Macintosh for the Motorola 680x0 processor, and FoxPro for Macintosh for the PowerPC processor.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
1. Start FoxPro for Macintosh. If the introductory screen doesn't

appear, do the following:

a. Type "MODIFY FILE SYS(2019)" (without the quotation marks) in     the Command window.

b. Comment out the line containing the CATMAN=ON or CATMAN=OFF statement by placing an asterisk in front of it. Close the file, saving changes.

c. Quit and then restart FoxPro. 2. While pressing COMMAND+OPTION, double-click the welcome screen. 3. From the Window menu, choose Hide All.

Note that all FoxPro windows disappear. FoxPro, however, is still running, as indicated by the FoxPro icon in the upper-right corner of the menu. Also, all FoxPro menu commands, except Wiz_splash, are grayed out (disabled).
