WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer can't run a Shell macro that calls a WordPerfect macro that executes a {SHELL MACRO} command to run another Shell macro. Solutions: Essentially the customer is trying to multi-task Shell macros (i.e., have two separate macro processes going at the same time). A Shell macro does not relinquish control until it terminates. Shell macros and WP macros pause when they execute the other type of macro. When the nested macro goes into a pause state, the previous macro is allowed to play out its keystrokes. The WP macro would have to go back to the original Shell macro to NEST or CHAIN another Shell macro. The current version of Office uses the {SUSPEND} command to work around this situation.
