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

Problem

Symptoms: In the US version of WordPerfect 5.1, try to save a file with an invalid name such as "vic,i". The message that comes back is "File Not Found". It seems logical that it would return "Invalid Filename." Is there some reason why it pulls the other message instead? Solutions: When WP saves a file, the DOS INT 21 to open or create the file is used. If an error occurs, WP returns the DOS error message. When trying to create a file with an invalid name, DOS returns a "File Not Found" error (DOS error #2) and WP just passes it along.
