So now, I have to take the small number of commands I would have just typed once, and run them seven times! And I have to waste even more time compressing the files with a ZIP utility, etc.

Or, you could write a program that used, for example, ADIR() to get the filenames of those tables, and then use Fox's Macro Substitution to perform the functions on each of those tables without having to type the specific names of the tables over and over.

Neat video, Ken. Just one thing: I created the Slashpane, to view http://slashdot.org in the Taskpane. Michael Henstock modified it to create the MSDN feed, and then Stuart Dunkeld modified the MSDN feed to create the VFP feed you actually demoed.

These and others are listed at http://taskpane.com, for anyone who didn't catch the URL the first time around.

When I worked in PSS, I wrote a KB article about how to submit bugs. It's directed at VFP users, but the principles should apply to any language.
