The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: In List Files, the user chooses Other Directory (7) to change directories. After exiting WordPerfect, he is left with the same DOS prompt that he entered WP from. If he did these same steps in 5.0 or 4.2, WP would leave him at the directory that he had selected in List Files. He feels that if he changes the default directory in WP, then when he exits WP, the DOS prompt should be the default directory. Solutions: This change was made as an enhancement to the program due to several customer complaints. This was discussed by the programmers before the change was made, and they decided that any software program should return to the original state upon exiting. To have WordPerfect exit out to the directory you set as your default would not be the original state the machine was in when entering WP. The customer should be taken back to the directory that they entered the program from.
