Even when this command is included for backward compatibility it should be described in the help file.
We may use slightly updated description valid for FoxPro 2.6/Windows:
Draws a box using specified coordinates.
Included for backward compatibility. Use the Shape control instead.
Syntax
@ <row1, column1>, <row2, column2> BOX [<expC>]
Remarks
This command draws a box on the desktop in FoxPro for MS-DOS, in the main FoxPro window or in a user-defined window.
Clauses
<row1, column1>, <row2, column2>
<row1, column1> are the coordinates of the upper-left corner of the box, and <row2, column2> are the coordinates of the lower right corner of the box. If row1 and row2 are the same, a horizontal line is drawn. If column1 and column2 are the same, a vertical line is drawn. Values represent coordinates in foxels.
<expC>
The characters used to draw the box can be specified by including <expC>, the character expression, which can include nine charactersone for each corner, one for each side and one to fill the box. The characters are displayed starting with the upper-left corner and continuing clockwise. If a ninth character is specified, it is used to fill the interior of the box. If just one character is specified, it is used to draw the entire border. <expC> is ignored in VFP9 and the box is drawn using a single-line.
