The earlier advice on this was right on.   I got the Word Perfect maintenance
update dated August 92 installed yesterday and it seems to have solved the
problem nicely.

I've another Word Perfect problem that also has been intractable.  I've been
trying out DV/X, and using an ATI Wonder Plus card in 800x600 16 color mode.
I've excluded cooo-c1ff.  When I try to run it in 132x25 mode, it works fine as
long as I do not switch away.  Word Perfect iconifies, and when I switch back,
the keyboard locks requiring a cold boot to restart.  The same setup works fine
in DV/C.
