Cursor Disappears Running WP 5.1 Via A PC Emu |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is using a PC Emulator on a Macintosh and running WP 5.1 DOS. At the DOS prompt the user gets a cursor, but not in WordPerfect. Solutions: Some suggestions the user can try are as follows: 1. If the user has a monochrome monitor, enter WordPerfect by typing "WP/MONO" at the DOS prompt. 2. Make sure the Text Screen Type and Graphics Screen Type are both auto- selected (Shift-F1, 2, 2, 2 to auto-select graphics and Shift-F1, 2, 3, 2 to autoselect text). 3. Type "Cursor" out at the DOS Prompt to see if the user gets a cursor in the CURSOR.COM utility. Press Enter when highlighting the cursor type wanted and then go back into WP. 4. The user may need to switch the foreground and background colors for normal text (Shift-F1, 2, 1, 1 for a color monitor, then try various letters for foreground and background; Shift-F1, 2, 1 if a monochrome monitor, select N for normal). 5. The user can also try some other startup options out at the DOS prompt, i.e., /NC /NK /NF, and /NH. These options can be tried singly, and then simultaneously. If none of these suggestions work, the Macintosh monitor may not be compatible with WP 5.1 DOS under a PC Emulator. In that case, there is nothing else WP can do. |
