         SET PATH TO C:\DEVAPPS\VFP98\UTILS,C:\DEVELOP\COMMON98\CDBK98\libs, ;
         C:\DEVELOP\COMMON98\CDBK98\progs, C:\DEVELOP\COMMON98\CDBK98\utils, ;
         C:\DEVELOP\COMMON98\RDI98\LIBS, C:\DEVELOP\COMMON98\RDI98\PROGS, ;

• After step 9, the comment is the default Forecolor of green, not red as set in step 3.
• The Comment Foreground color setting in the Syntax Coloring dialog back is green again.
• The Comment Forecolor is red, as expected, if the SET PATH TO string is less than 255 characters in length and the Syntax Coloring is reset to red.
• Settings from other pages in the Options dialog box may not be correctly used.
