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

Problem

Solutions: FYI: Disk access may occur when moving the cursor through a document in WordPerfect 5.1. This disk access generally occurs when the program reads the WP.FIL file. However, one WP 5.1 user had trouble with disk access occurring when cursoring through each character. The problem did not occur until they had entered and exited View Document. The disk access was eliminated when the user shelled out and back into WP. The user found the problem to be caused by limited memory in the computer. Shelling out and back into WP appeared to free the memory that had been used by View Document, and eliminated the need for constant disk access.
