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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer is starting WordPerfect from MS-DOS 5.0 DOSSHELL and has a local drive specified in Location of Files for the documents. When the customer enters List Files, it defaults to the local drive, as it should. But, if the customer presses Alt-Tab to go out to DOSSHELL and then back to WordPerfect, List Files will have changed the default directory to a network drive (the same network drive where DOSSHELL was started). If the customer has a network drive specified in Location of Files and presses Alt-Tab to go to DOSSHELL and then back to the WP, the default drive does not change. Solutions: The customer removed a device driver, DEVICE=$RRDE.SYS, from the CONFIG.SYS file, and the problem no longer occurred. This device driver is part of a mainframe virtual disk package called Arbiter made by Tangram Corporation. The device driver reserves certain disks to connect to the mainframe.
