In the course of developing an application in FoxBase+/Mac, I've found
FoxCode to be really useful, once i had some idea of how it worked.
I started with the skeleton template "Advanced Application, modifying it
as i went along.  (For those who don't know, FoxCode is a code
generation language used build FoxBASE code and screen tables into
applications).  

A lot of people probably get along fine without FoxCode, but it seems
to me that the advantages are significant.  The main problem is that Fox
doesn't seem to support it very well (their staff doesn't really know
how to use it), and documentation is minimal.  George Goley, in his new
book, says (basically) that FoxCode sucks and is not worth the trouble.

Am i making a mistake by getting too involved with FoxCode, without
_really_ knowing what i'm doing?  Are there other developers out there
that use it?  I'd like to see a discussion here about FoxCode, and also
find out how much expertise there is out there in netland.
