Hello out there! I have a client that has old legacy apps written in
FoxPro 2.5 for DOS running under Windows XP. A lot of the screens need
maintenance/fixing before they can be revamped and eventually rewritten
in VFP 8.0. It's been a while since I've touched FoxPro 2.6 for
DOS/Windows (I've been developing apps in VFP 6.0 and 8.0 for the last
six years). I went into the screen builder in FoxPro 2.5 for Dos
(Arrgh! I had to get used to the old aqua blue and purple screens
again) and found that I could easily add push buttons, text,
checkboxes, @Say and @Get fields, popups and lists (Spinners are only
available in FoxPro 2.x for Windows as the help file for FP for DOS
says). However, there are no grids available.

Am I crazy or is this most important feature missing from FoxPro 2.x
for DOS?!? How in the world did old FoxPro 2.x for DOS programmers get
by without a grid to display rows from a child table? Did they somehow
use a bunch of lists placed parallel to each other, SET a RELATION from
the parent table to the child table and display each column in from the
child table in a seperate list? Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

They called it a "browse" as I recall, same idea as a grid. But that was a
long time ago and grandpa can't remember that stuff too good no more.
