WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When F9 is pressed you get the field 1 prompt at the bottom of the screen where the file name should be. Even if the {END FIELD} was a mistake and you delete it, the field 1 prompt remains unless you clear the screen and retrieve the file again. The customer was annoyed by the fact that it doesn't leave the screen when the code is deleted. Solutions: The technical review group states: This works as designed. Page 876 of the manual specifically states that you must press Home, Home, Home, Up Arrow to clear the message even if you delete all the {END FIELD} and {END RECORD} codes. This is logical -- how else will WP know that all of the them have been deleted unless you move the cursor through the document.
