Many thanks for the help given to me regarding the Command
Window and the Expression builder. That problem appears to
be laid to rest, I'm pleased to say.

Can anybody help me now on the apparent idiosyncratic
behaviour of my keyboard macros (I have some 200+)in Memo
fields in VFP8 which didn't happen when the same ones were
used in VFP6?

The trouble appears to be limited to those macros
containing Enter and Home or Shift+Home used in Memos in
the middle of text to break a line and start a new one and
when used to start a new line, linked by an inserted
colon, at the end of a body of text. What happens is that
the new line is not forced open but the text in the macro
is placed in the existing line at the 'correct' place.
