The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

You can use either a 12- or 24-hour clock for the creation/modification time displayed next to each filename in File Manager.

CONCEPT
You can change the File Manager clock by modifying the Language Resource File (WP.LRS). The WP.LRS file contains language formatting conventions for use with the Date, Footnote, File Manager, and Tables features. Formatting conventions determine the way WordPerfect displays certain kinds of information, such as dates, time, and currency symbols.

If you want to change any of these defaults for the language you are using, you must edit the WP.LRS file. The WP.LRS file is a WordPerfect 5.1 secondary merge document, so it is easy to edit. Details on editing the WP.LRS file can be found in the Word Perfect 6.0 for DOS reference manual under Language Resource Pile.

How Do I USE IT?
These instructions will modify the time format used in File Manager for the United States-English version of WordPerfect.

1.      Retrieve the WP.LRS file into WordPerfect (it should be in the directory where WP.EXE is located). The WP.LRS file is very long, so use Search to find the section that contains the US information.

2.       Press Search (F2).

3.       Press Ctrl+Enter to place a [HPg] code in the Search For string, then type US.

4.       Press Search (F2).

Once the US codes are found, you need to locate the line that contains the time format information. The different pieces of information are separated by ENDFELD codes. As you scroll down the page, notice that the field number at the bottom left corner of your screen changes.

5.      Use the down arrow to scroll down the document until you reach field 11. It should be on or near page 61 of the WP.LRS file.

Field 11 contains either 12 or 24. File Manager uses the number in this field to determine the time format.
Your line should have a 12 on it, since you want to change to a 24-hour clock.

6.       Delete the 12, then type 24.

7.      Save the file as WP.LRS; replace the old file with the new changes.

The change you have made to the File Manager clock will not take effect until you exit and re- enter WordPerfect.
