       MMMMSSSS WWWWOOOORRRRDDDD 3333....0000 FFFFIIIIXXXX FFFFOOOORRRR PPPPCCCC6666333300000000 IIIINNNN HHHHIIIIGGGGHHHH----RRRREEEESSSSOOOOLLLLUUUUTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN MMMMOOOODDDDEEEE

       When used on an AT&T PC6300, Microsoft Word Ver.	3.0 should
       come up in high-resolution (640 X 400) mode when	the command
       line is simply:

	       word

       This doesn't happen, however.  It comes up in one of the
       lower resolution	modes instead.	A software patch is needed
       to correct this little problem.	Use ddddeeeebbbbuuuugggg and the wwwwoooorrrrdddd....ccccoooommmm
       file.

       Do the following:

	       type	       debug word.com [return]
	       display	       -
	       type	       a 3b1a [return]
	       display	       304A:3B1A
	       type	       jmp 3b3c	[return]
	       display	       304A:3B1C
	       type	       [return]
	       display	       -
	       type	       w [return]
	       display	       writing ADD2 bytes
	       type	       q [return]
	       display	       [your system prompt]

       Now, type wwwwoooorrrrdddd and the program will come	up in the 640 X	400
       mode.  This fix was given to me by the Microsoft	helpline.
