The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Using the characters CON in the first part of a filename will most likely return one of the following messages: "WPCB One customer found that pressing Ctrl-R, Enter let him get out of the loop of error messages so he could save the file under a proper name that isn't reserved. Solutions: CON is a reserved DOS name. CON stands for console, and the computer is trying to print the file to the screen. The WPCB is the beginning of the file's prefix. The characters CON may be used as a file extension. They may also be used within a longer word in the filename. However, using CON as the first part of the filename is not allowed by DOS (e.g., CON.TST). |
