Hi again,
I have the code here that I have tested on both Clipper 5.2e and Harbour.
This is the first time I have seen with my own eyes what I was being told
earlier, so I can verify that I have witnessed a difference with my own two
eyes. If you cannot replicate it, perhaps I will need to send you my
Blinker .LNK file, in case something is being switched on in there.
Anyways, Clipper will write "hello" at the top of the screen after "test",
and Harbour will not.
FUNC MAIN()
do while lastkey()#27
clear
x:= "test"
@ 2,0 get x ;
valid eval( {||devout("hello"), .f.} ) .or. .t.
read
? "test complete...press enter to do it again"
wait
enddo
RETURN
// Thanks Przemek
