WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: With running the following line in an macro:       {IF}!{SYSTEM}menu~&65535~ {QUIT}{END IF}
The "Please Wait.." prompt does not disappear from the screen in a menu if the {DISPLAY OFF} command is before this line. It works fine if you put the {DISPLAY OFF} after this line. Solutions: This is working as designed. With the {DISPLAY OFF}, the screen is in a sense "locked" (except what is displayed by the macro) until display is turned on. Since the screen is "locked", the "Please Wait.." will not be rewritten until display is turned on.
