SUMMARY
=======
The Visual FoxPro Help file entry for GETFILE() states:
If cFileExtensions contains just a semicolon (;), all files without an
extension are displayed.
This is not true if Visual FoxPro is running on a computer equipped with Windows
95.
This documentation error has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.
MORE INFORMATION
