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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer typed tutor at a DOS prompt, and when prompted, she entered her name, but then a program other than WordPerfect came up. The title screen identified it as "Word Proof IV, PCTools Version, 8/01/89, IBM Corp. 1989, IBM Internal Use Only." Solutions: She searched her drive for any WP.EXE, WP.COM, or WP.BAT files with the ATTRIB WP.* /S command (DOS 3.3 or higher). She found another WP.EXE file in another directory, which was also in her PATH statement before C:\WP51. She edited the PATH statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT to begin with the parent directory specifier (..\), like the following: (PATH ..\;C:\;C:\DOS; etc.). Another option is to place C:\WP51 in the path before the other directory
