- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0

SYMPTOMS
========
In a program file, when using the SET PROCEDURE TO command to call a procedure
file that has a Class Definition in it, issuing a RELEASE PROCEDURE command in
the program file will not release the procedure's FXP file even after the
program has been run. If the procedure file does not have any Class Definition
in it, RELEASE PROCEDURE will work as expected.
RESOLUTION
==========
Use the CLEAR ALL command to release the procedure's FXP file.
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.

================
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. Create a program file named mytest containing following code:
FUNCTION TestFunction
o=CREATEOBJECT("cTemp")
o.SomeMethod()
RETURN
DEFINE CLASS cTemp AS Custom
FUNCTION SomeMethod(lcText)
lcText=IIF(type("lcText")="C",lcText,"HelloWorld")
WAIT WINDOW lcText
RETURN
ENDDEFINE
2. In the Command window, run the following commands:
CLEAR ALL
CLOSE ALL
CLEAR PROG
SET PROCEDURE TO mytest
?SET("PROCEDURE") && The name of the procedure file returned
DO TestFunction
RELEASE PROCEDURE mytest
?SET("PROCEDURE") && Nothing returned
3. Go to Explorer and find mytest.fxp and try to delete the file. Note that the
FXP file cannot be deleted, yet you cannot access either the function in the
PRG or the class.
