	I missed the original posting but don't get the problem.  I
run WordPerfect 1.0.2 under Multifinder daily (Mac II w/4 megs memory)
and have no more than the usual problems involving INITs and other
stray software downloaded from the net.

	One problem that has occurred (apparently involving some
interaction between INITs and WordPerfect) concerns the WP
configuration files.  I've managed to trash those a few times, with
ugly results--in particular, WP crashing when trying to perform file
maintenance (from the command-L menu).  Once I replaced the files and
reconfigured WP, no problem.

	When these folks told you to drop WP, did they say why?  I've
read and heard numerous complaints about MS Word 3 and 4, and I'd be
willing to bet (based on my previous experience with MSDOS Word
Perfect) that by the time Mac WP goes into another version, it will be
as much at home with the Mac environment as any Mac word processor.

	Finally, if you have continuing problems, call the Word
Perfect Mac Help number.  They answer their phones, and they do their
best to help, or at least such is my experience.
