I must say that, personally, Intellisense is the single most frustrating part of VFP7, especially in the Command Window. I'm sure others love it; but I know what I want to type, and Intellisense gets in the way.

It can be turned off in Tools/Intellisense Manager, but I can't find anywhere to turn it off by default. Rather, each time I start VFP I have to remember to turn it off - if I don't, bad things will happen (I'm a touch typist, so I don't generally look when I'm typing short statements). Robert Bradley
 
Robert,
Most of us have a statement like:
_startup="C:\vfp70\vfpstart.fxp"

in our CONFIG.FPW file so we can set up various configuration items that can't be directly controlled by the registry settings or other CONFIG statements.

In the "C:\vfp70\vfpstart.prg", include the line:
_foxcode= ""

This will prevent Intellisense from being used.
