Problem

Symptoms: The BONUSCAL.WPM macro ships on the January 1993 DOS Disk of the Month from WordPerfect, The Magazine. This macro creates screen displays to prompt the user for the Month and Year of the calendar to be created. If the month (such as January 1993) needs six table rows to display all of the days, the macro displays the fact that the month requires the use of six weeks and asks where the user wants the extra days printed, i.e., create a new row, print on the bottom of the fifth row, or print in the extra cells at the top of the calendar. The question prompt is displayed on the line above the status line and the choices are displayed on the status line. If the user has the pull-down menu bar displayed with the dividing line, the question prompt is displayed on the status line and is quickly replaced by the choices. If the customer is following the documentation that ships with the Disk of the Month, they know what the macro is asking. If the customer just answers the question, the prompt with the available choices goes off and the menu prompt that asked the question is now visible and it looks like there is a "Ple" being flashed at the left corner. The user should NOT respond to this screen display. The macro is really flashing "Please Wait" as it finishes the calendar. Solutions: There is a simple fix to this problem. In the Section "{;}***** PROMPT USER FOR THEIR PREFERENCE *******~", which is almost at the end of the macro, there is a line "{PROMPT}{^P}{NTOK}3~{NTOK}22~{]}This Month Consists of Six Weeks ..." Change the 22 to 21. This will display the question prompt one line higher. This change does not hurt the display without the pull-down menus. The question is simply followed by a blank line on the display and the choices are still displayed on the status line.
