WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: On page 763 in the manual under the heading "Window Size," it says that if you enter "0" or any number higher than 23, it closes the window your cursor is in. It doesn't close the window you are in but it closes the other window. Is this a documentation error or a problem with the program? Solutions: The documentation does not state this correctly, though it may depend on how you understand a window. The statement in the manual on page 763, "closes the window your cursor is in," can be confusing. A window is created the same way a window is closed. For example, the window the cursor is in is the active window. Using Ctrl-F3, W you split the screen into two windows. WP adds a window that is inactive (since the cursor is not in the window). When you set the window size of the active window to 24 lines, or any setting that closes a window, WP closes the inactive window which is the window the cursor is NOT IN. So if your cursor is in DOC1 and you set the window in document 1 to be 24 lines, WP closes DOC 2.
