WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer selects the MACROS keyboard. If he invokes the Ctrl-D macro, it works great. If he runs the Ctrl-C (calculator) macro first, then when he invokes the Ctrl-D macro, the prompt reads "is the author 10?" rather than "Enter authors name." I can duplicate this with the 08/20/90 release. After the incorrect prompt, the macro runs properly. The only problem is that is gives the incorrect prompt at the beginning of the macro. Solutions: When the user runs the Ctrl-C macro, it assigns variable 9 to be 10. Then, when the user runs the Ctrl-D macro, variable 9 is assumed by the macro to be the author. This is a limitation and a coincidence that these two macros share the same variable names. The user can get around the problem by clearing variable 9 before running Ctrl-D.
