This reminds me of a problem I'm having with WP50 and a Zenith 248. If the user holds a key down to get multiple strokes, the zenith will spew random garbage until the key is unpressed. Is this a BIOS incompatability. Is FIXBIOS supposed to fix it? (it didn't seen to.) Declan Fleming U of Illinois

This is in regard to the question about Zenith 248's and repeating keypresses. I had such a problem with V5.0 on a 248, and it was resolved, I believe (I believe, therefore I am....), by slowing down the cursor speed in the setup menu. I think that putting CPS on normal solved the problem. I *don't* recall that we had to use FIXBIOS to do it. By the way, I have a Zenith Z-151 at home, and before FIXBIOS came out there was something from WP called NOSHELL that did the same thing. The weird bug on my machine was that whenever I loaded 4.2 the system time was alway set back to 2:00am. NOSHELL (and now, FIXBIOS) solved that problem. Haven't had any other inconsistencies with it. ************************************************************************* * Mike Dalecki (BITNET - SODALECK@ECUVM1) * Sociology/Anthropology ---------------------------------- * East Carolina University | The World Doesn't Want To Hear | * 405-A Brewster (919) 757-6883 | The Labor Pains-- | * Greenville, NC 27858 | It Just Wants To See The Baby. | *************************************************************************

With the problem of garbage from holding down the key, try the WP /NC option to start WordPerfect. That seemed to help when I had the problem.
