A silly question:
someone knows why by convention the Harbour/Clipper classes generally use the prefix T in the name ?
e.g. TBrowse
PD: in C++, Java, etc. by convention the prefix in the name of classes is C ("C"lass).

I am not sure and it's just a speculation, but the same thing was happening in Delphi when i was using that.All the classes were being used with the "T" in front.
Maybe it comes from T for type? So TBrowse = object of Type Browse.
Anyway its just my random thought

My quess : "T" is last letter of "object"
Importance is : Harbour support class definition (and all other class based statements and functions) and Clipper not
Viva Harbour

It comes from Borland compiler's GUI framework.
Some early clipper clones like C3 emulated that class hierachy.
