Problem

Symptoms: A customer using Microsoft Windows 3.0 was having trouble setting up the .PIF file for WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS. Solutions: The customer used the following steps to have Windows set up the .PIF and icon:
1.      From Windows' Program Manager, enter the Main group.
2.      Select the Windows Setup icon.
3.      Click on Options, then choose Setup Applications.
4.      Click on the arrow that points downward, and choose the drive that WordPerfect is on. (If on a network, do not choose All Drives or you will have to wait while it searches the network drives).
5.      With the proper drive highlighted, click on OK. The program will begin searching the drive for applications that are recognized by Windows.
6.      A two-sided menu will appear. Search down the first column for WordPerfect. If there are two or three, then highlight each one, and look in the lower left of the screen for the proper directory and executable file. (Windows puts them in order so that the last one would be the latest version.) Highlight it and select Add.
7.      Windows creates the icon and .PIF file.
