WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: In WordPerfect 5.1+ for DOS when the customer uses CTRL+F1 (Go to DOS), the screen displays ASCII characters across the screen and the machine locks. Solutions: Using the /DL startup option corrects the problem when going to DOS. This switch was added to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. How/Why: The /DL switch disables Grammatik, Font Installer and CV.EXE. The customer does not use these features, but is aware of them. If any of these functions are needed, WP51+ will be started without /DL.
