SUMMARY
=======
The FoxPro 2.5 for MS-DOS and Windows "Language Reference" (page L3-250), the
FoxPro 2.0 for MS-DOS "Commands & Functions" manual, and the Visual FoxPro
online Help incorrectlystate that the BROWSE IN SCREEN command places a Browse
window on the desktop in FoxPro for MS-DOS or in the main window in FoxPro for
Windows, even if a user-defined window is active.
Instead, to place a Browse window in the default size and location, you must also
issue the NORMAL clause.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
The following series of commands illustrates this behavior:
USE <filename>
DEFINE WINDOW test FROM 1,1 TO 20,20
ACTIVATE WINDOW test
@1,1 SAY "hello" && test is the current output window
BROWSE IN SCREEN
Note that the Browse information is displayed in the window "test".
To correct this problem, issue the following series of commands:
USE <filename>
DEFINE WINDOW test FROM 1,1 TO 20,20
ACTIVATE WINDOW test
@1,1 SAY "hello" && test is the current output window
BROWSE IN SCREEN NORMAL
