Misc. Usage notes & examples

                                  IMPORTANT!

1.  MAKE SURE YOU RELEASE A FOXLIB COMMAND FROM MEMORY USING THE FOX
"RELEASE MODULE" COMMAND AFTER YOU HAVE LOADED AND CALLED IT.  THIS WILL
FREE UP MEMORY AND YOU WON'T EXCEED THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ALLOWED LOADS
IMPOSED BY FOX.

Example:                       . load c:\FOXLIB\mousedrv
                               . FOXLIB = "MOUSE"
                               . call mousedrv with FOXLIB
                               . ?substr(FOXLIB,1,1) = "Y"
                               .T.
                    ---------> . rele modu mousedrv

2.  NEVER SEND A PARAMETER OTHER THAN WHAT IS SPECIFIED IN THE FOXLIB
COMMAND.  OTHERWISE, YOU COULD GET UNWANTED AND UNPREDICTABLE RESULTS.
BELOW IS THE INCORRECT WAY TO PASS THE PARAMETER "MOUSE" USING THE MOUSE
DRIVER FOXLIB COMMAND.

Example:                       . load c:\FOXLIB\mousedrv
                    ---------> . FOXLIB = "MICKEYMOUSE"
                               . call mousedrv with FOXLIB
                               . ?substr(FOXLIB,1,1) = "Y"
                               .T.
                               . rele modu mousedrv

Below is the CORRECT way to pass the parameter "MOUSE" using the mouse
driver FOXLIB command.

Example:                       . load c:\FOXLIB\mousedrv
                    ---------> . FOXLIB = "MOUSE"
                               . call mousedrv with FOXLIB
                               . ?substr(FOXLIB,1,1) = "Y"
                               .T.
                               . rele modu mousedrv

Please refer to your FOX manual for questions using the LOAD, CALL, and
RELEASE MODULE commands.

3.  IN A MAINFRAME CLIMATE, YOU HAVE BOTH A TEST AND A PRODUCTION WORKING
ENVIRONMENT.  MAKE SURE YOU USE THE TEST ENVIRONMENT (I.E. USE ONLY A COPY
OF YOUR DATA) WHEN FIRST USING ANY OR ALL OF THE FOXLIB COMMANDS.
