I have a rather odd problem with this new version of WP I just got through the mail yesterday. If I run it directly from floppy, it works fine, but if I boot from hard disk and run it, the F5-List files doesn't work very well. It displays ONLY folders, but no files, so I can't see what is on my disk. And I tried disabling all mem-res programs, and I also tried running the floppy version instead of the one installed on my HD, [after booting the HD] to see if I what I installed on the HD is bad or if it is universal, and I get the same problem. Anyone else experience this? Is there a fix for it? -- S.

Is there a fix for it? I have run into this problem, and found that WP is not the cause, but rather a program called DC SHOWIT, from Double Click software. Seems that the two interfear with each other. All I did was de-install it on boot_up, ala ST_Select, and all runs fine. >S. Alan Ezust | depeche@calvin.cs.mcgill.ca ___ rich.....

Seems >that the two interfear with each other. I also noticed this problem as soon as I installed DC SHOWIT. I sent a note to Double Click regarding the problem, and Mike Vederman replied that he was aware of the problem, and had fixed it in a more recent version of DC SHOWIT. In the meantime I've been using the original version without problems (except of course that the WP file selector only list directories; I've been using the GEM file selector option in WP). Mike, could you please post the fixed version? I really like DC SHOWIT (great piece of work!!), but I want my WP file selector back! (While you're at it, maybe you could patch SHOWIT so that it properly displays text files with newline separators, rather than just CR/LF pairs?)
