Is there a person or a place that the (open sourced) VFP help is being
maintained? That'd be awesome to be able to enhance the help system with
updated or clarified information, plus adding more or better examples?
I'm a long time fan of the Fox Wiki but some pages are getting unweildy
with comments over the years.

If only there was some reference other than the help you could go to
for these kinds of things...

numbers involving decimals. SET DECIMALS determines the minimum number of
decimals used and displayed. SET FIXED determines whether the SET DECIMALS
value is also the maximum number displayed."
There's quite a bit more, in the SET DECIMALS topic in HackFox.

I agree, but it's been that way for so long, I just roll with it.

Additional info. SET DECIMALS affects TRANSFORM when you provide the
formatting parameter. If you just use TRANSFORM(0.042), you'll get
"0.042"
even if SET DECIMALS is 2 as long as SET FIXED is OFF.
That is perverse. If I specify how I want the return value to
appear, my specification will be overridden.
