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

Problem

Solutions: Appendix N of the WordPerfect Manual (Startup Options) states that the DOS SET command can be used to include any of WordPerfect's startup options. For example, by placing the following in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
SET WP=/M-STARTUP
WordPerfect automatically executes the macro named startup each time the user types WP to enter WordPerfect.

A customer created a SET command with a startup option. Instead of using the hyphen (-) in the startup option they used the equal sign (=) (WP=/W=60). When using the = as part of the startup option DOS returned a "Syntax Error." Some DOS versions require that a hyphen (-) be used in place of the =. WordPerfect accepts both the = and the - and will execute the command as desired with either one.
