I've been off the list for quite a while, so I don't know if this is
already old hat, but I have the following problem:
  I want to build a [DOS] batch file which will load the popupmgr when
I load wordperfect. So I copied popupmgr.exe into the root directory,
and simply added it to the batchfile which loads WP. And the screen
shows "TSR installed" (or whatever the exact reading) before the WP screen,
so I know that that's not the problem. Here's where it gets wierd: if,
in WP, I punch in Ctrl-Alt-E to switch over to Endnote, the screen goes
blank, followed by the single line "Loading Endnote," a pause, and THEN
a dos-prompt for C:�wp51. When I go back to WP, it treats the matter as
if I had illegally left, i.e. by asking "Are there other copies of WP
currently running?"; and, oddest of all, there is a huge read-only file
called oldapp.sys [486 kb] added to the C:ďż˝ directory, PLUS Snap.img.
What the hell gives? This is all under DOS6, I should add. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
