WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer is having a problem with WordPerfect locking the computer when he goes into List Files. This only happens when he runs WP under MS Windows and when he is linked to the IBM AS400 Mini Mainframe (a 3270 emulation). If he is not linked to the Mainframe, then he doesn't have this problem. Solutions: Typically, terminal emulation software packages hook many of the interrupts that WP needs for keyboard execution and screen display. There is no code that WordPerfect can change to eliminate this problem. A possible solution is to find an emulation that does not retain these interrupts, or find a way to swap this emulation out and restore the keyboard to its pre-emulation state.
