SUMMARY
=======

The command-line switches supported in FoxPro for Windows and FoxPro for MS- DOS
are not supported in FoxPro for Macintosh.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Since the Macintosh environment does not allow the use of command-line switches,
the following switches are not supported in FoxPro for Macintosh:

  -C = Specify configuration file
  -E = Prevent use of all expanded memory
  -K = Prevent attempts to use F11 or F12
  -T = Suppress FoxPro sign-on screen

RESOLUTION
==========

To emulate the -C switch, double-click the CONFIG.FPM file that is desired.
FoxPro will then execute and use that configuration file.

The -E and -K switches are not needed in the Macintosh environment.

The -T switch is no longer supported by FoxPro for Macintosh. However, it is
still supported by FoxPro for Windows & FoxPro for MS-DOS.
