   MACSCREEN=OFF

Macdesktop

Controls whether windows reside at the same level as the main FoxPro for Macintosh window. When Macdesktop is set to OFF, windows reside on the main FoxPro for Macintosh window. They cannot be moved outside the main FoxPro for Macintosh window, and behave in the same manner as windows in Visual FoxPro for Windows. This setting is useful when developing cross platform applications.
