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

Problem

Solutions: When using PCK-Key (PCKKEY.COM - keyboard accelerator program that is part of PC Kwick) with WordPerfect 5.1, the Alt-= (equal sign) sequence does not bring up the pull-down menu. Each time Alt-= is pressed the computer beeps. This leaves two options for users with PCK-Key. The first would be to disable the PCK-Key hot key feature (which is a TSR loaded in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file), which returns access to WP's Alt-= combination, or they can use Alt-Shift-= or Alt-+ (plus sign) to access the pull-down menus. If the user decides to disable the PCK-Key hot key feature, he or she will need to change PCK-Key's /K+ option to /K-.

A customer using a TSR program from Dell Systems experienced this same problem with the pull-down menus. The user chose to change the WP access key to just Alt. They made this change through the Menu Options in Setup (Shift-F1,2 4, 4). They found that this change did not, however, help when using the Tutorial. In order to avoid a conflict when using the tutorial the user disabled the TSR before running the Tutor.
