Problem

Solutions: 1.      Go to the DOS prompt where the tutorial files are stored. (This should be a read/write directory).

2.      Type WP and press enter.

3.      Note any error messages or questions WP asks and correct them as specified in 4a - 4e. Then exit WP.

4.      Use the following guidelines to correct errors and/or prevent questions asked when entering WP from the DOS prompt where the tutorial files are stored.

      a.      If the message "Bad command or filename" appears, a path (or search drive on Novell) needs to be created.

      b.      If the message "Directory in use" appears, copy the tutorial files (tutor.com and *.tut) on to a directory where they have read/write access (such as A:).

      c.      If the message "Which network software are you using?" appears, a /nt switch needs to be used either in the .ENV file or in a DOS Set command. (To use a DOS Set command go to any DOS prompt and type SET WP=/nt-# where # reflects the appropriate network type. A DOS Set command is only good until the system is rebooted, so we recommend that they put it in the autoexec.bat file. If the set command is placed in the autoexec.bat the user must first reboot.)

      d.      If the user is asked for their "Username (limit 3 characters)" a DOS Set command is needed. (To use this DOS Set command go to any DOS prompt and type SET WP=/u-xxx where xxx reflects the user's initials. A DOS Set command is only good until the system is rebooted so we recommend that they put it in their autoexec.bat file.)

      e.      If the user is asked both the network type and their username, once again a DOS Set command is needed. (At any DOS prompt type SET WP=/nt-#/u-xxx where # represents the network type number and xxx represents the user initials.)

5.      Try typing WP again. Does the user enter WP without being asked any questions or getting any error messages? If so, type TUTOR at the DOS prompt. When you typed WP if you did not successfully enter WP check the following before trying the Tutor:
                  a)      verify the correct syntax of the DOS Set command,
                  b)      check for numerous releases of WP,
                  c)      see if they have Multimate (whose program is also WP.EXE), and
                  d)      check for a WP.BAT file. If you find more than one release of WP, Multimate on their system , or a WP.BAT file, disable them.
