WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer with a Zenith 386 computer had several tab columns set up to use with math. When he used the cursor keys to move from one line to the next one down the cursor moved to the tab to the right. If we used the /NC start up option the cursor moved correctly. Solutions: Many Zenith machines have a cursor speed which sends interrupts too fast for WordPerfect to work with. The same situation did occur in 5.0. By using the /NC startup option it disables the built in interrupts and allows WordPerfect's cursor to work normally. The startup options are designed to work with hardware incompatibilities. This gentleman may consider creating a batch file to include the /NC option. Similar problems occurred with 5.0 and Zenith computers.

The /NC switch when used with /NK has also corrected cursor problems with the Zenith Z-248 computer. A customer using this computer had trouble with soft returns ([SRt]) and alphabetic characters randomly appearing when holding down an arrow key. The found that using the /NC/NK or just /NK switches eliminated the problem.
