SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR COREL WORDPERFECT 6.1 USERS WITH OS/2
=====================================
If you are using Corel WordPerfect 6.1 for DOS with OS/2 with a fax modem and have included C:\WP61\FAX\FAXDIR.EXE and C:\WP61\FAX\FAXB.COM in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, these files may interfere with other programs and devices that access the COM port for modem communications or other purposes.

If you have migrated Corel WordPerfect 6.1 to the desktop, you can create two Corel WordPerfect program icons, one for sending faxes and one for general purposes.

1 Right-click the Corel WordPerfect program icon, then choose Copy twice.

2 Type WORDPERFECT 6.1 NO FAX in the Rename Object To: box, then click OK. You now have two program icons for Corel WordPerfect 6.1.

3 Make a copy of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file with a different name (for example, AUTOFAX.BAT).

4 Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT to remove the lines related to fax transmission.

5 Right-click the WP 6.1 program icon on the OS/2 desktop, choose Settings, choose Session, choose DOS Settings, click OK.

6 Change the DOS_AUTOEXEC setting to include the name of the AUTOFAX.BAT file, then click Save.

7 Press ALT-F4 to return to the desktop.

When you want to use Alt+Esc or Ctrl+Esc to switch from Corel WordPerfect 6.1 to run another program that uses the COM port or an audio device such as a sound board, use the WP 6.1 No Fax program icon.

When you need fax sending capabilities, use the Corel WordPerfect program icon.
