Running WordStar 5.00 (a very early release) the pc often hangs
inexplicably when I hit some cursor key.  Actually somethings is running;
one can print the screen or warm boot, but no WordStar commands can
be executed, and there is no way to save or write files.  I have heard
others complain about similar problems, but have never heard any
suggestions on what is going on.  Any suggestions for a fix? (other than
upgrading to WordStar 5.5, which seems to offer no new features of
use to me).
