You have them both in separate directories? Well, when you run 3.1, the
Wordworth libraries it uses (the 3.1 ones) are loaded into memory. When you
run WW5, it then loads the old libraries (because of the way OpenLibrary()
works). If you flush your memory before running WW5, this probably won't
happen, as WW5 will then load it's libraries from disk (it's own directory),
and they'll be the correct version.

Try writing "avail flush" in a CLI window before running WW5.


Digita should have been able to avoid this by either bumping the library
version numbers or by bumping the lowest-version argument to OpenLibrary..
