There is a separate newsgroup on the dBASE newsserver dedicated to the tutorial and that is the best place to get help. It is important to install the tutorial EXACTLY as described at the start of the tutorial.  If you do this dBASE should find all the forms and tables without a problem.  It is also important to follow the tutorial without skipping anything.  The tutorial is carefully structured so that each section builds on what has gone before. dBASE itself has changed dramatically since the tutorial was first written so you should always mention which version of dBASE you are using when you ask for help. It is strange that commands work if they are entered a second time.  It will help us understand what is happening if you could give some examples of the commands you had to enter twice.  Were the commands simply ignored the first time or did you receive any messages?
