According to Page C3-173 in the "Commands & Functions" manual for FoxPro version 2.0 for MS-DOS, the colon delimiter used in the various options associated with the BROWSE FIELDS clause can alternately be replaced with a forward slash. This statement is correct for all the options except the forced validation option. This documentation error occurs on Page C3-173 of the "Commands & Functions" manual for FoxPro version 2.0 for MS-DOS. NOTE: This statement does not appear in the version 2.5 "Language Reference."
