You may want to turn off some of the settings for the source editor, then. I have had issues with the source editor crashing a lot or working poorly/slowly if Auto Complete and Code Hints are turned on. In the Source Editor, go to the menu "Properties", and then select "Source Editor Properties". In the dialog, uncheck "Auto Complete" and "Code Hints", click OK. Close dBASE, start it back up, try opening one of the files that has been slow and see if that solves the problem.
