WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Enhancement: A user requested that WordPerfect 5.1 include the capability to disable the macro invoked by Alt-G so that another program could access this keystroke. Answer: The Keyboard Layout/Map feature can be used to program the keyboard so the Alt-G key does not start a macro. The steps below list how users can delete all commands that are associated with the Alt-G keystroke in the Keyboard Map screen: 1. Create a Keyboard Layout/Map called MYKEYS (Shift-F1, K, C, MYKEYS, Enter). 2. Go into the Keyboard Map option of this keyboard (M). 3. Position the cursor on the Alt-G selection. 4. Select Key (K) and press the Space Bar. 5. Exit out of this menu and select this keyboard (F7, S, F7). With this keyboard selected, a third party program can use the Alt-G key combination.
