WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: In WordPerfect 5.1, the "(Text Was Not Modified)" message did not display on the status line when the user pressed F7 to save a document, even though the user had not modified the text or moved the cursor. Solutions: The user had retrieved the document with a "Space Bar retrieve," which means that the user: 1. Pressed the Space Bar on a blank document screen 2. Retrieved the document (using Shift-F10 or List Files) 3. Backspaced over (deleted) the space When the user pressed the Space Bar and then deleted the space, WP assumed that the user was editing a new document. However, by doing this, the user had just retrieved another document into an unnamed document. This is why WP did not return the "(Text Was Not Modified)" prompt. In WordPerfect 6.0, if users want to start a new document, they should either use "Open" to get a new blank document, or clear the current document (F7, N, N) before using "Retrieve" to get a new document.
