The FoxPro "Interface Guide" provides incorrect instructions to move database fields using the keyboard, as follows:

   To change the order of fields in the database using the keyboard,
   press TAB until the double-headed arrow preceding the desired field
   is selected, then press the SPACE BAR to select the entire field
   definition. Press the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW keys to drag the field
   to its new location, then press the SPACE BAR to confirm the
