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

Problem

Solutions: The CD (change directory) command, when used on a network, can remap drives. For example, if a network user types CD\WP51 to change to the WP directory, the search drive will be mapped to the WP directory. If the user had typed ..\WP instead of CD\WP51, the program would have executed correctly, without having to change the directory. Typing ..\ along with the executable filename (..\WP) will invoke any desired executable file found in the parent directory (directory just above the current directory).

When using a shell menu, users may want to include the full path to an executable file. For example, if wanting to execute DrawPerfect, instead of just typing DR for the program name, type something like Y:\WPCORP\DR.EXE.
