WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When using the Alt key with the numeric keypad (for example: Alt-minus sign), a box appears on the screen. In reveal codes, if the cursor is placed on the character, the code displays as [*:127, 255]. This character doesn't view or print. What I am wondering is why it is inserted and what is character set 127. Solutions: The code [127,255] is not representing characters from WP's character sets. This problem will be fixed on the next interim release after 6-29-90. This will be fixed so that WP 5.1 will ignore the keystroke like WP 5.0 does.
