MORE INFORMATIONThe message information is the text that is displayed in the FoxPro for Windows status bar for a menu selection. This information typically describes the function of the selected menu. The FoxPro 2.5 for MS-DOS Menu Builder does not correctly read the existing information from the message field into its data structure for the menu. Therefore, when it writes a new menu file, the message field information is discarded. Steps to Reproduce Problem1. Start FoxPro for Windows. 2. Use the Quick Menu option of the Menu Builder to create a new menu named TEST.MNX (assuming you do not already have a file with the same name). 3. Choose the Options button in the first row of the TEST.MNX window (the row that has "\<File" for its Prompt). 4. In the Prompt Options dialog box, select the Message check box. Verify that the message in the Expression Builder contains the following text: Create, open, save, print files or quit FoxPro 5. Choose OK twice to return to the main TEST.MNX window. 6. Save TEST.MNX, then quit FoxPro for Windows. 7. Start FoxPro for MS-DOS. 8. Open TEST.MNX. 9. Change the name of the first prompt from "\<File" to "\<File Test" (without the quotation marks). 10. Save the changes to TEST.MNX. 11. Quit FoxPro for MS-DOS. 12. Start FoxPro for Windows. 13. Open TEST.MNX. 14. Choose the Options button in the first row of the quick menu (the row that now has "\<File Test" for its prompt). Note that the Messages check box is no longer selected. Select the Messages box. Note that the Expression Builder no longer contains any text.
