Here's an interesting "feature" in 5.1. I find that if I exit "ungracefully" from 5.1 - switch off the power, or suffer a power outage, I cannot get back in again very cleanly. WP starts up OK and asks "Other WP running?" etc and when I answer No it *appears* to delete the temporary files created during the previous session (at least there is lots of disc activity) but then the "Please wait" message appears and everything hangs up. The only way to exit is to re-boot and before starting again to use DOS to delete the WP temporary files which still remain even though they are 0 bytes long. Once these files have been removed, WP starts in a normal fashion. This problem occurs on a Zenith superSport 286 (I do run FIXBIOS) but does not occur on a Packard-Bell 286. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? --------- Trevor Cradduck <TREVORC@UWOVAX.UWO.CA> University of Western Ontario, London, Canada ---------
