WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using WP 5.1 and he has created a simple macro that searches for all occurrences of the less than symbol (<) and replaces it with a dot leader. He has inserted the macro command {ON NOT FOUND}{BREAK}~ into his macro to hopefully break out of an infinite loop if the search fails, but he is not able to break out of the loop and the screen continues to flash "Not Found." I am able to reproduce the problem in a Vanilla environment with the 4-17-90 UK release of 5.1. He was originally using 2 macros to try to accomplish this. One macro was used to call up the other macro that actually did the work. Solutions: It is working as designed. The documentation will be changed.
