(NapTime)

I did some research on this...after all, this vital detail was somehow
missed by all the Hacker's Guide books...

I didn't find any reference to NapTime in FPW 2.6 or prior versions. I
don't have VFP 3 but there are mentions of "NapTime" in VFP 5 and beyond.
There's a mention as a reserved word and a reference in the Wizards
directory. From VFP 5 and beyond, this should work:

USE HOME(1) + [Wizards\FdKeyWrd.DBF]
BROWSE FOR [NAPTIME] $ UPPER(Token)

...and there it is. The Code field is used to indicate it's a property. So
it's a reserved word because it's a property.

Run the Beautify on code that references a Naptime property and Beautify
will change the casing to your Beautify selection.

I'm pretty certain this table is used by the Beautify process. In VFP, the
Beautify.APP appears to be more of a loader application while in FPW the
.APP does more (just look inside).

However, there is zero indication that "NapTime" is an actual reserved
word. It's marked in the help file as such...but I haven't been able to
find a conflict by creating an object and adding a property called
"NapTime".

Since this didn't exist before VFP and the "NapTime" reference existed in
VFP 5, my suspicion is that at one time this was a property of a Timer
object, only the property was changed to "Interval" but the documentation
didn't get completly cleaned up. Again, this is entirely conjecture on my
part. The timeline is consistent though, the Timer object didn't exist
before VFP. Anyone still have VFP3 loaded?

Hey Ed, you have a VFP4 CD, you wanna load it and check for the
Timer.Naptime property?? OK, I suspect you have bigger fish to fry.

By the way, you guys know that VF5 introduced the _Netware, _SQLServer and
_Oracle properties? These were introduced in the beta and carried around
ever since. Try ?_Oracle in the command window and you won't generate an
error.
