The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Using WP 5.1+ for DOS, the customer reported that when retrieving an ASCII DOS text file a second time into WordPerfect using Ctrl-F5, if the file has been altered, the changes are not reflected in the retrieved document.

To see the problem:
1) F5 and turn on Long Display
2) At a blank screen, Ctrl-F5, 1- DOS Text, 2-Retrieve and retrieve C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT.
3) F7, N, N.
4) Switch to another Application and edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file by adding a line that says REM this is a test.
5) Switch back to WP and use Ctrl-F5, 1, 2 to retrieve the file. NOTE: You do not see the changes.


Solutions: This problem has been duplicated and reported to Development. The user can avoid the issue by turning off Long Display in List Files OR by retrieving the file using Shift-F10 rather than Ctrl-F5.
