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

Problem

Symptoms: Every time the customer presses F5 (List Files) the computer will lock up. All other computers on the customer's network running WordPerfect are fine. The customer tried using the startup options /NC/NK/NE and the problem still occurred. Solutions: The customer reported that the machine which demonstrates the problem is the Kimtron KT70. The problem only occurs on directories that have more than one page of files. In directories that have more files than WP can display, WordPerfect uses the ^_ character to show that there are additional files. The reason this problem occurs is because the Kimtron terminal treats the ASCII 31 character (^_) as a call for the local mode. The problem is not with WordPerfect but with the operating system and the terminal. The customer should work with the operating system manufacturer to avoid this problem.
