X# itself is more function based than command based (like VFP) but has

you can still write code like you do in VFP.
For example "SKIP 1" is translated to DbSkip(1) and "SKIP 1 IN
Customer" is translated to ("Customer")->DbSkip(1).
Interesting - very similar to Clipper. Clipper also allowed you to
DECLARE your own commands and a pre-compiler that translated them into
Clipper source code.
fwiw I would quibble that ("Customer")->DbSkip(1) is not a traditional
function format (more OO) - I think Clipper would have had
DbSkip("Customer", 1). As I *may* have mentioned before, Clipper also
handled arrays /properly/ <g>.
For free it certainly can't hurt to look!
