The program below creates a table, adds three records, one of which is deleted.  The table is then indexed, and the COUNT command is issued, so that the number of visible rows is shown in a message box.

Before you run it, examine the source code, and try to guess what the COUNT line will report. (Hint: think carefully!)

Once you've made your guess, type this in Command window:
     modify command dQuiz1

Paste the code below into the program editor, and press F2 to run it.  You may be surprised.

// dQuiz1.prg
set deleted on
close tables
if file("Quiz.dbf")
  delete table Quiz
endif
