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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer enters the command DEVICEHIGH=C:\FILES=40 into the CONFIG.SYS. When attempting to enter WordPerfect, the customer receives the error "Not Enough File Handles." Solutions: The DEVICEHIGH command is used for loading device drivers into the upper memory blocks. These programs or device drivers have the extension .SYS or .EXE. The DEVICEHIGH= command is used in place of DEVICE=. Everywhere users normally use the DEVICE command in the CONFIG.SYS file, they may also use DEVICEHIGH. The customer is getting an error message that states "Bad Or Missing Command Line In CONFIG.SYS," which is the following line: DEVICEHIGH=C:\FILES=40. The customer cannot use DEVICEHIGH=C:\FILES=40, since the normal line for setting the files in the CONFIG.SYS is FILES=40, and it does not use the DEVICE=. The MS-DOS 5.0 manual, page 436, further explains this information.
