SUMMARY
=======

Visual FoxPro does not automatically use CTRL+G as a Find Again hot key, but you
can add it.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To add use CTRL+G as a Find Again hot key to repeat the last text search:

1. Open a program called Vfpstart.prg. It should be located in your VFP
  directory.

2. Locate the line that says "*Startup program for Visual FoxPro," and after
  that line type:

     DEFINE BAR _MED_FINDA OF _medit ;
        PROMPT "Find A\<gain" ;
        AFTER _MED_FIND ;
        KEY Ctrl+G, "Ctrl+G" ;
        MESSAGE "Repeat the last text search"

3. Save and close Vfpstart.prg.

4. The next time you start Visual FoxPro, Find Again will appear as an option in
  the Edit menu.
