[mod.computers.vax] WPS+ help needed

CUSTEAD@SASK.BITNET.UUCP (01/30/87)

 
Help is needed for WPS-Plus on a Micro VAX.  We are
moving WPS-Plus users to a new disk drive.
 
What is needed is information about the user's profile
in WPS, especially how the personal dictionary is referenced.
It seems that after we moved the user to the new drive, WPS was
looking for the user's personal dictionary on the old drive.
 
We are NOT using ALL-IN-1 on the Micro VAX.  ALL-IN-1
has the ability to modify a user's profile for such things, but
WPS+ manuals don't seem to mention anything about user's profiles.
 
I would appreciate any advice on this problem.

My first suggestion is that you contact CSC/Atlanta for help.  They are
very good at solving problems of this sort.  Second, my personal guess
is that the location of the personal dictionary is not in the profile.
Instead, it is stored in the permanent symbol table (username.PST).  You
need to change the value of one or more symbols.  This is what CSC/A should
be able to help you with.
