ALTSHFTM.WPM - Doesn't Rewrite Screen In Word
DocumentID: 609552
Revision Date: 29-Feb-96 1:34:23 PM

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

Problem

Symptoms: While in WordPerfect with the pull-down menus at the top of the screen, invoke the Shell macro ALTSHFTM.WPM to list the macros. After exiting the macro, the screen is not rewritten and the pull-down menus aren't restored. Solutions: This is working as designed. To do a save and restore screen takes 5K of memory. Because of hardware constraints, macros have to run in the "lowest-common-denominator" environment, which means that memory is at a premium (the macros themselves take enough memory that they have to be chained in segments to conserve it). The Alt-Shift-M macro restores the screen by forcing a return to the main document screen in WP and pressing F3, F3 to do a rewrite. If the user has set up WP so that the menu bar is always visible, then it reappears when the macro is done; otherwise, the user will have to re-invoke the menu with the mouse, or by pressing left Alt.

Status:      Working as Designed
