I run WP 5.1 and very occasionally also 6.0b under OS/2 as well, with mostly satisfying results. One small quirk with WP5.1 is that the documents have to be on a FAT formatted drive, since otherwise the (very handy) F5F5 return to a previously accessed folder does _not_ work. Pity about that, since I otherwise run pure HPFS. But it's a quirk that can be lived with.

WordPerfect had the solution for that problem before Bill Gates even heard of Windows... just used the long description option with WP5.1 and you get an automatic alphabetical sort on the descriptions, even under DOS.

I faced the same problem first, but then found that tiny little button in the View | Options-Menu saying that new windows should have the same settings like the last ones. Disabling that worked fine!

SH> Every time I start it up, my settings have gone. Yes. For most, but not all, preferences you should change them by selecting Edit | Preferences. Or Shift-F1. For most of the others you can do a shift-F1 in the appropriate menu item. The rest require changes to system styles. If one or another does not work either the .BIF file (in the Windows directory) or the default template is protected against changes.
