WordPerfect 5.1 Retrieve Function Requires APPEND

ID: Q72100

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

SUMMARY

WordPerfect technical support has confirmed that the Retrieve function in WordPerfect version 5.1 needs the MS-DOS APPEND command to work properly. However, the APPEND command is not compatible with Microsoft Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

The WordPerfect Retrieve function (SHIFT+F10) is used to quickly search the hard disks for all WordPerfect data files, no matter which directory they are located in. APPEND is used for this function.

WordPerfect technical support suggests that when using the Retrieve command without APPEND, you supply the full logical path to the file:

For example, instead of using


   MYFILE.WP

use the path:


   C:\MYFILE\MYFILE.WP
