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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is trying to toggle between WordPerfect and the IBM PC 3270 emulation program entry level version 1.22. The 3270 program allows the user to emulate a mainframe terminal. If the mainframe Num Lock key is on when the customer tries to hotkey out of WP, the mainframe screen will appear and then kick the user right back into WP. If the customer can get the mainframe to release the Num Lock light, then the customer can toggle between programs just fine. The user would like to know if there is any kind of solution or a work around. Solutions: As mentioned, the customer had difficulty toggling between WP and the 1.22 PC 3270 program when the Num Lock key was turned on. If Num Lock was off, the problem did not occur. The customer found that the problem was due to the "R"-Resume switch which they had inserted into their 3270.BAT file. The 3270.BAT file was executed from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. After removing this switch, the customer no longer had a problem toggling between WP and the emulation program.
