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

Problem

Symptoms: A user entered WordPerfect 5.1 on Novell Netware 3.11 and received the error message, "Can't Find ," e.g., "Can't Find C:\BAL." Solutions: The Supervisor had created a user ID with a space, e.g., Bob bal. In the System Login Script, the Supervisor set up a DOS environment variable that inserted user initials for WP from the user ID. "C:\" appeared as the directory in the error message because the user's default directory was selected as C:\ in Setup, Location of Files, Documents. Any characters after the space in the user ID are considered a filename, and WP was trying to open that file and looked for it in the default directory upon entering the program.
