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

Problem

Solutions: 1.      The environment file tells WordPerfect that you are configured as a network.
2.      It must reside in the WP program directory.
3.      The only two startup options that may reside in it are /NT and /PS.
4.      It acts just like a batch file. If WP finds the environment file, it will then prompt the user for his initials. It also tells WP how to direct the output for printing to the network and rewrites the print screen adding banners and forms as options.


/PS=PATH is the directory where the personal set files should go.
The directory for the set files should be a directory where users have rights to create, erase, and/or modify files.

On Novell there can be no volume names in the /PS path. For example, SYS:APPS\WP51\SETUP is an invalid path. This will cause the search drives to remap. The error message "Insert WP disk 2 in drive" could occur. An environment file can be added simply by typing COPY CON WP{WP}.ENV at the prompt in the program directory. You would then put the /NT=# and then press return and type the /PS=PATH. Then press F6 for an end of file marker. WP will now run as a network version. When editing an existing environment, file make sure it gets saved as DOS text.
