1. COB Editor Extensions (Excellent!)

I just received the latest issue of "Foxtalk," and this month they
included the COB Editor Extensions, which adds a lot of functionality
to the somewhat anemic Foxpro editor.

One of the coolest features is the macro expansion.  For example, lets
say you're working on a project, named FOOPROJ.  You can set up a macro,
such as MPF, that will expand to "Modify Project FOOPROJ" whenever "MPF "
is typed in an editing window (such as Command).   It comes with quite
a few macros alread installed, such as IFF, which prompts you for a
logical expression, such as !EMPTY(lcFName), and then creates the
following code (with the cursor on the second line) :

IF !empty(lcFname)
     _
ELSE
ENDIF  && !empty(lcFName)

It also allows you to "comment out" a block of text with a hot-key, and
it will also pull up a list of all functions in a program.  It will do
several other things, such as popping up the structure of a table (useful
when coding SQL-SELECTS or BROWSES).

It is freeware.  I'm not sure if it available via ftp, but if there is any
interest I will put it on wuarchive or somewhere similar.  (Any suggestions
on an appropriate site?)

Once again, I'm really impressed.  This ranks right up there with Jkey as
far as usefulness!
