I am using Word Perfect 5.0 on my Zenith laptop, and have discovered that there is an inverse video problem. For instance, when I use F5 to retrieve a file, and a list of my files appears, there is no inverse video bar marking the selected file. So scrolling down the list with the down arrow key does not result in any visual change on the screen. Similarly, I do not get any inverse video marking blocked text. I do know that inverse video does work on my screen on other occasions, so it does exist! Has anyone else seen this problem, or could it be something wrong with my laptop in particular or something defective with my Word Perfect executables? Any comments about this matter would be most appreciated.

Use Shft-F1 (Setup) and go to the display, colors or whatever WP calls it. Then set the colors in WordPerfect that permit you to see the screen. All the Zeniths have CGA color built in, so you can set them very easily for 'gray' tones even on a mono monitor or laptop.
