The @ ... SAY Pictures & OLE Objects commands are supported in FoxPro for Windows and FoxPro for Macintosh.

Use the first syntax form to display picture files and OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) objects in the main FoxPro window or a user-defined window. Picture files and OLE objects can also be directed to the printer with @ ... SAY.

In FoxPro for Windows, you can use this command to display .BMPs (bitmap picture files).

In FoxPro for Macintosh, you can display PICT type picture files and .BMP bitmap files.

If you issue SET DEVICE TO SCREEN, output appears in the main FoxPro window or an active user-defined window. SET DEVICE TO SCREEN is the startup default. If you issue SET DEVICE TO PRINTER, output is directed to the printer.

The second syntax form for this command is used to call the OLE server to service a verb for an OLE object. An OLE verb is a powerful tool for manipulating OLE objects. Use the VERB clause to execute commands associated with the OLE object. For example, you can start the application that created the OLE object, or edit or print an OLE object.
