when I open a browse window with 2 short fields (6 char and 15 char),
there is a large blank space to the right, like there are hidden fields.
I would like these to not be here, as it covers the screen and looks
stupid, and if I can't get rid of it, it'll make me look stupid. Making
the window smaller does not solve this blank space on the right.

Any ideas?

Use a grid on a form instead?

Is this grid stuff windows or visual related? I am running FoxPro/DOS
2.6. There are norgrid/nolgrid options in browse, but they seem to only
relate to vertical lines.

Yep, that's a VFP feature and not available in FoxPro/DOS.

I tried Visual Foxpro 3.0, and it also opened the same wide column on
the right when I create a quick 2 field dbf and browsed it. I think I
am missing something pretty basic, as that big space is useless.

In FoxPro/DOS you'll have to define a window with dimensions to fit your two-
column browse. Then add the WINDOW clause to your BROWSE statement.
