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

Problem

Symptoms: Would it be possible to return a status for the cursor being between a Column On code [Col On] and a Column Off code [Col Off] with the {SYSTEM}document~ command? Solutions: "Using the {SYSTEM}Column~ command returns a non-zero result when between a column on and off." Page Number: 965 On the line after "wp/filename" the phrase "wp/" should read "wp/f2". Page Number: 80 On page 80 of the WordPerfect Workbook under the heading "Backing Up Files," it says "If you do not have a formatted diskette and do not know how to format one, turn to the Formatting a Disk information in Appendix." In the 08/91 release of the workbook (on page 79), this sentence has been changed to "If you do not have a formatted diskette and do not know how to format one, refer to your DOS manual that came with your computer." Page Number: 898 Under the /D startup option, it states that "you can redirect the files to a RAM disk . . ." If the user boots out of WP, or locks up and reboots, all is gone from the RAM drive, including the backup files if they have been redirected there. This is not documented. In a future reprinting of a WP for DOS reference manual, the following information is pending being added to the /d documentation. "If a RAM disk is specified for the overflow files and temporary buffers, then in the Location of Files, the backup files should be assigned to a directory other than the RAM disk. If this is not done and your system is rebooted by power ouage, locking, etc., the backup files will be lost. A RAM disk is memory that is treated as a disk drive. Therefore, when power does not reach the machine, the information on the RAM disk is lost. Page Number: 230 Under the /B=# startup option, the color palette for Graphics Conversion Program lists "8=white". This conflicts with the /F=# startup option (page 231) where "8=gray." According to Development, the color is more of a light gray. In future reprintings of the WP for DOS manuals, the correction of "8=light gray" is the pending change for the documentation.
