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

Problem

Symptoms: If the customer changes to the Learn directory, enters WordPerfect and then reboots their computer (leaving the virtual files open in that directory), the customer cannot enter the Tutor program. If the customer tries to enter the Tutor from the Learn directory, the system will either lock upon entry, or kick the cursor to the DOS prompt upon selecting a lesson. Is this working as designed? Solutions: Yes, this is working as designed. Currently, WordPerfect does not have an option within the Tutor that asks "Are Other Copies of Tutor Running?" To work around this problem, the customer can use the set command SET WP=/U-NNN. This will cause the old temporary files to be deleted when the customer enters the Tutor program. Another customer had this problem if they exited WordPerfect improperly. Once the temporary files were deleted (*.SPC, *.CHK, *.BV1, *.TV1), they could enter Tutor without any problem. (They could also enter WP and exit properly to eliminate the temporary files.)
