DOS MODE Command To Set Up COM1 Port Not Work |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When the customer uses the DOS MODE command to set up the COM1: port as 9600,N,8,1, and then types DIR>COM1: at the DOS prompt, everything works correctly. However, when the user enters WordPerfect 5.1, immediately exits and then tries to type DIR>COM1, the command is not working correctly. The user tracked the problem to the mouse using COM1. The mouse is resetting the port to a different baud rate. Should WP reset the baud rate upon exiting to what it was upon entering? Solutions: DOS doesn't provide a mechanism to read the existing baud rate. |
