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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer kept getting a syntax error when he used the /W=*,* startup option in WordPerfect. The user decided to try using the hyphen instead of the equal sign (/W-*,*), and this worked. In the documentation of the manual, it is written as an "=." Is this an error in the manual, or is this problem specific to this customer's situation? Solutions: The user can use either one. The manual is correct when it says the syntax is WP/W=. WP breaks up the command line switches and allows either - or = for several of the startup switches. WP/M= or - can be used. The user should not have received a syntax error with WP/W=. Testing has tried WP/W= with expanded memory and it works fine.
