We are running Foxbase+ 1.01 on our Tower 32/650 (NCR OS Release 2.01.01),
and experienced a similar problem for some users, and not for others.

It finally boiled down to the way I was setting the PATH for those users
having the problem.  A couple of directories were set in their
.profile, and set again in my own Foxbase invocation script.  After
I figured it out, and removed the duplicate directories from the path, 
and the problem cleared up.

It not only happend on a modify structure, but also a modify command.
