The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: On an OS/2 LAN Requester, the /U option is ignored when a user runs WordPerfect from a DOS box. The problem occurs because it hard codes the initials in the computer and doesn't allow the user to switch workstations. The customer is on an IBM LAN Manager network version 1.3. Solutions: If the /U startup option is placed in the PROFILE.CMD, it will be passed correctly to the environment and WordPerfect will be executed in full screen mode. If WP is run from a DOS box, the environment options will not be passed to DOS because the PROFILE.CMD only passes information to OS/2. If the /U parameter is set in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file using a SET statement, it will work correctly.
