[comp.sys.mac.programmer] FoxBASE crashes on return from XCMDS

a_dent@vaxa.uwa.oz (06/14/90)

I've spent about a day trying existing XCMDS and writing my own and have
definite problems with FoxBASE+/Mac.  It seems to have a problem with
string variables or expressions as parameters.  I wrote a couple of variants
of the "Flash" example and FoxBASE is quite happy if it just passes numeric
parameters.  However, when passing string parameters the XCMD executes but
FoxBASE then crashes on return.

I'm using Multi-user FoxBASE version 2.00 under System 6.04, with and
without a variety of INITS.

Has anyone else experienced problems like this, or tried using such 
XCMDS with FoxBASE?
