 xBase Commands
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  One of the great advantages of xBase is its syntax. Wayne Rattlif really
  did an excellent work designing a syntax with 'human language' for dBase.
  xBase commands are the highest level of abstraction on a OOPS architecture.

  xBase commands let us think only in functionality. When you need to
  quickly develop an application you should use xBase commands. You will
  only have to worry about the OOPS layer under the xBase commands when
  you plan to expand FiveWin.

  Clipper 5's extraordinary preprocessor lets us apply a really easy Windows
  programming system based on xBase commands. Under this layer there exist
  Objects, functions, data and Windows API calls.

  Most xBase commands are built on Objects. When we write:

  DEFINE WINDOW oWnd FROM 1, 1 TO 20, 50

  What we are doing is using Objects, however we don't have to worry about them.
  There is no need to. xBase commands let us focus on what we want to happen
  and not about how things get done.
