Subject:      Re: once again, printing to disk...

I wrote a gwbasic program to do this but using disk labels rather than
file names.  It would be trivial to modify the program and upload source
for those interested in ascii.  It now has to shell out to dos and use the
label program to write the label file and I don't know how to make C
emulate the label program in itself.  I originally wrote it to be used with
fill v3.0 to modify label names so when logging files the
label wouldn't be asked for whenever a disk didn't have one.
If you're interested please let me know.

Subject:      MONO graphics and NX 2400 printer

I know Wordperfect pretty well, but I just bought it for my
system 2 days ago and I can't get it to run right.  It locks up
constantly, esp. when I try to print.
I have a green Monochrome monitor and the Setup is set for
Hercules compatable.
I also have a Star NX-2400 printer which will not print a single document
whether it is set up as NX-2400 or IBM graphics printer.  Every time I
try it locks up the machine and prints a line of garbage on the printer
if anything at all.
The one time I tried spell check, it lock the machine up leaving a line
of garbage across the bottom of the screen.
I've gotten locked up a couple of times in F5- List.
So I have no idea what the problem is and so far I haven't
been able to call WordPerfect.
By the way this is Wordperfect 5.1 on a 286 compatable machine with 1 meg ram.
Can anyone help me out?????

Thanks in advance,
Jim

Subject:      Foreign accents

    My French Section all use Fr keyboards, so there
    is of course no problem.

    But all my English translators working with a
    102-key normal QWERTY keyboard have adopted the
    Canadian-French layout (by using the DOS command
    "KEYB CF" in their autoexec.bat).  This provides
    an e-acute (the most common accented vowel) as a
    key in its own right; other accented vowels are
    obtained with "dead" keys, like those on the old
    manual typewriters - remember them ? :-) - the
    accent is done first, and the letter added. This
    works okay during spellcheck editing.  The only
    snag - overcomeable with a little effort - is
    that the existing QWERTY keytops are sometimes
    telling lies and you have to reemember where
    things like the backslash and question-mark are
    (we could get Canadian keytops, but just haven't
    bothered).The CF layout is in the DOS manuals,
    and a photocopy of it is scotchtaped to each
    keyboard for the forgetful moments !

    A general comment: I find that many people rush
    immediately to write a sometimes complicated
    macro when there is a simpler solution available.
    It certainly applies to many character-creation
    problems -- for instance, to get the section sign
    it takes more keystrokes using Compose (Ctrl-V 1
    comma 8 1) than Alt plus 21 on the keypad.

The problem appears to me is that few can read their own writing and take
exception to someone else reading it.  Since we know what it is supposed to
say we pass over the text without actually seeing what it does say.

Subject:      line numbering

Hi wp51 users,
I found that when using line numbering and choosing the "NO" option for
"restart numbering on every page" (or whatever the wording is), it works
fine for actual printing (i.e., numbers do NOT start from 1 on each page),
but it doesn't work for view-document (Shift-F7, 6; i.e., each page starts
with line numbered 1). Has anyone else had this problem? Have a solution?
It seems to me like a bug.

Hey,

when I was installing WordPerfect 5.1 yesterday, I couldn't find a
printerdriver for my NEC Pinwriter P/20. There are drivers for the P/2,
P/2+, P/3 etc, but not for the P/20 or P/30. 

I've tried, though, the P/2+, but it's not fully compatible. Now I've got
the following question:

Is there another driver that is compatible with the P/20  (Epson, Star ?)
or is there a P/20 driver available (on a FTP-site, maybe?) ?

If you do know the answer, let me know quickly, please,

thanx in advance,

On the subject of printer drivers, is there an ftp site that keeps them
around?  I know you can download them from Compuserve, but ftp is a lot
more convenient for me.  Also, the WordPerfect forum on compuserve was
unavailable this weekend when I tried.

We are planning to upgrade our VAX-WP5.0 to 5.1 this autumn. It is a 100 user

I know there has been a lot of talk of WP5.1 but has anyone seen a "complete"

My two cents is that data should be entered in secondary merge files.  This
makes it possible to sort many ways and report the data in any possible format
- parallel columns, tables, tabbed, list, labels, envelopes.  It would be
fairly simple at this point to turn the parallel columns into a secondary
merge file.  Reveal codes would show the codes that need to be replaced with
End Fields and End Records.  Then create a primary file that contains the
parallel columns definition in initial codes.  Turns columns on in the
document followed by the field specifiers and page breaks to move from column
to column.  Delete the final Column on and insert the merge codes {Next
Record} {Nest Primary}~ (Control N, Control P, Control P, Ctrl-F9, 3)

Merge this primary document with your secondary merge file and print.  Sort
the secondary merge file, merge it with the primary document and print again.

    Hey Jude !

    You're hitting the wrong key, I would guess --
    <1.Skip once> instead of <2.Skip>; the second
    will hold the word in memory during the check and
    not query it again. If you want to keep the word
    for the future, and never have it queried again,
    hit <3.Add> and it will be put into the
    supplement dictionary for keeps.

    I was going to add "RTFM = Read the .. Manual";
    but probably They are saving money and don't
    provide you with one ;-)

Subject:      Re: Transposed words that WP misses

I don't see how a spell-checker alone could check for words with transposed
letters that spell other valid words; that gets more into grammar.  I think
it would drive me crazy if such a feature starting running during my spell-
checking, because I can imagine there would be more words than I would ever
expect popping up as possible misspellings!

What has recently bugged me about the spell-checker is the check for
irregular case.  During a spell-check I added the word "NUcat" which
needs to be spelled exactly that way, no changes in case anywhere.  But it
now stops at that word every time, asking what to do with it.  Is there
possibly some way to make the dictionary recognize certain irregular-case
words as valid?  (I found nothing in the documentation.)

You don't have to choose Ukranian. Any two-letter combination will do.
WordPerfect doesn't care. Chose XQ for example (this is the code for
the Xqish language used on Mars :-)).

   Well, I guess they must have fixed it, because in my version of WP 5.1
when you press 2. Skip it will, in fact, skip all subsequent occurences of
the same spelling.  The only thing about your question that puzzles me is
that I thought this was how I remembered WP5.0 operating also.  Oh well.

posting, to the entire wpcorp-l list.

His posting contained a "Reply-To:" line pointing at the entire list.
Now, I personally don't think it should, but I'll take that up with
him in private E-mail :-).

If you don't know what the wpcorp-l FAQ posting I mentioned in my last
message is, and you're curious, I suggest you wait patiently and it
will show up soon.

Sorry again for the inappropriate mail to the list,
