Under DOS 3.21, sometimes (but not always) I get the message 'insufficient
file handles to run WordPerfect'. It seems that is a parameter that
somehow gets accumulated while other applications are run, and not
properly cleared when the applications are terminated.

After I reboot, I can run WordPerfect alright. Is there a solution other
than rebooting?
