Naughty, naughty! Using a keyword as a name.
VFP does let you get away with it much of the time. My
observation is that if the keyword is not being used in its keyword
sense in the context, you can get away with it. Does this sound like
a guarantee? No, so I still do not use it. Except when I did by
accident. See my other post about display status.

... for values of "recently" exceeding ten years. Some of us
moved to this department, some of us moved to that department,

Your options? Well, no.

FoxPro has improved greatly over the years (prior to the last
ten or so), and you may benefit from upgrading to a later
version. Going from 2.x to 3 or from 3 to 5 have been popular as
they allow you to upgrade your hardware as well
rewriting. Similarly, you may benefit from going from 5 to 6 or 6 to
7 or 7 to 8 or 8 to 9 or 9 to^W^W^W.

FoxPro support is behind you (about ten years) so try a user group.
