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

Problem

Symptoms: Under certain circumstances WordPerfect may rename a directory with the extension .BK!. This can cause problems with a file that has the same name as the directory name.

For example, the customer saves a file with the name DOCS, while DOCS is on the screen he Presses F5 for List Files, highlights the DOCS file, presses 2 for Delete, presses 7 for Other Directory, creates a directory called DOCS, presses the Space Bar to get back to his current screen (where DOCS is still on the screen), saves the DOCS file again, presses F5 to go back into List Files, and when he goes back to the directory the DOCS directory is now named DOCS.BK!. If the customer goes back to the DOCS file (which is still on the editing screen) and edits the file and saves it again, an error message, "Can't Rename File" appears.
