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

Problem

Solutions: When using any release date for WordPerfect 5.1 if the ASCII character 240 (three stacked horizontal lines) is entered by pressing ALT and then 240 on the number pad the computer will lock. Sometimes the locking is due to having a DOS type that doesn't match the computer type (e.g., WYSE 286 machine with IBM DOS version 3.3). If the customer's DOS type is the same as his computer type, try having him start WordPerfect for DOS with the /NC/NK startup options. *This information is given as a troubleshooting option.
