LAN Assist Uses Ctrl-F1 As Hotkey |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: LAN Assist 2.0 uses the Ctrl-F1 sequence as a hotkey for their CHAT feature. Because of this, WordPerfect users cannot use Ctrl-F1 to go to DOS. Customers using LAN Assist may want to create a keyboard in which the Ctrl-F1 (Shell) keystroke is mapped to another set of keys. The CHAT feature is used for calling other people on the network. Removing the /C startup switch from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file will allow the use of Control-F1 in WP. The /C stands for CHAT. The line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT usually reads LA +/C. One LAN Assist user had entered a +n parameter when using an older machine in order to alleviate a problem with snowy screens. Removing the +n parameter also enabled use of the Ctrl-F1 feature in WP. |
