WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When a customer would retrieve a file which he had put a password on, it did not ask for a password. Solutions: One customer was using the "space bar retrieve" method to retrieve the document. The customer would press the space bar, and then retrieve the passworded document. The customer then saved the document. The next time it was retrieved, it would no longer have a password because the file was being saved with the attributes of the space "file". Another customer was saving the file as DOS text using Ctrl-F5, 1. When saving this way, the password will be stripped from the file and it will no longer be password protected.
