Thanks Ted,
I am a fully qualified 75 year old computer duck and dreadfully uneven
in my knowledge of things. I cant resist the challenge and need the
mental activity, which is essential for self recognition each morning. I
mascaraed as a Physicist and CFO for many years in the US, enjoying that
life too. I wish all my contemporaries and Ed's eclectic flock as happy
a life as I am having.
William.

Ed, I know you're kidding because the key says, "Caps Lock" when
everyone I know calls it "Cap Locks." So you were reading the key on your
keyboard! ( or someone elses)

Actually, mine says "CapsLk" and has a caps lock symbol (⇬) with a
capital-A in in it. But it's a Chinese laptop with an IBM logo...
But William has been posting to the forum for decades, always in
upper-case, and always about VFP5, the second buggiest VFP ever (well,
unless you count VFP4!). We ought to make allowances.
William, if I have to hazard a guess from his curt posting, is trying to
control serial port settings using the MODE command for something his VFP5
app is doing. (IIRC, he works in a factory and does a lot of automation
control via VFP.)
William, I think the suggestion is to set serial port settings via the
control panel, which end up in the registry, as in this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/112841
or http://www.computerhope.com/modehlp.htm
If you're doing something else, like serial port printing, let us know a
bit more and perhaps we can give more specific suggestions.
