SYMPTOMS
========
A Column in a Grid has the SelectOnEntry property set to True (.T.), but when
the form is run, the text is not selected.
CAUSE
=====
The KEYCOMP setting is set to DOS. The KEYCOMP setting controls the enabling or
disabling of the SelectOnEntry property.
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
WORKAROUND
==========
If KEYCOMP = DOS is the desired default setting, issue a SET KEYCOMP TO WINDOWS
in the procedure associated with the When event of the grid and issue a SET
KEYCOMP TO DOS in the procedure associated with the Valid event of the grid.
This will allow the SelectOnEntry property to function properly.
