Problem

Symptoms: DEC has come out with a new line of PCs built by Tandy. These PCs have the option of using an LK250 keyboard which has function keys F1 through F20. The customer is having problems accessing the F11 (Reveal Codes) and F12 (Block) keys. Also, the customer is not able to remap the number 5 key. Solutions: The customer discovered they have the option of using two different keyboard drivers. By loading the DEC-Mode driver, the customer can use most of the keys in WordPerfect 5.1. Any key that did not produce the correct function when pressed, can be remapped to the correct function. The customer does need to use the /NK startup option to enter WordPerfect when using this option. *This information is given strictly as a troubleshooting option.
