WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Mouse cursor is lost after shelling out to Windows. I am using Windows 286 ver. 2.11 on Epson Equity IIe, Herc Ramfont card, Genius (Microsoft compatible) mouse on COM1. I start WP with the supplied PIF file (WP51-286.PIF) and things are fine. When I shell to Windows (Alt-Space, Minimize) and then come back to WP (double click on the icon), the mouse no longer works. I can go into Setup and reselect it and it comes back to life (Note: Autoselect will not do it). Solutions: This is a problem with Windows. Once Windows takes control of the mouse, they have to give control back to WP. WP doesn't "know" that it has lost control of the mouse, so it doesn't try to get it back. The best way to solve this is a macro that selects your mouse for you.

Problem:      
White text on black background does not work on Hercules. When I view in VGA color with default View Options (Text in color, Graphics in Color) the white text appears as white on a blue background. When I change either View Option (Shift-F1,D,V, option 1 or 2) to "Yes", the white text on black background is not visible. Also not visible on a Hercules monochrome system.

Answer:
WP doesn't allow color changes to show on monochrome monitors or when the view text in Black and White setup option is set to yes.

Problem:      
If you are spell checking with the Italian LEX file for 5.1 (used in the Italian language module), the word 'qUesto' is said to be misspelled but gives it as an option below. Something seems to be wrong with irregular case function for Italian.

Answer:
Soft-Art spellers do case checking before WP does. WP's case checking is only done if the word is spelled correctly. The Soft-Art code says the word is misspelled, so that the proper case of the word can be displayed as an alternative.
