Made copy of Wordperfect disk by dragging icons onto "empty" disk. When I click
on Wordperfect icon, message "please insert Wordperfect" message comes, trapped
between "retry" and "cancel", I can get in by clicking on "cancel" about 20
times. ???????? Please & thanx help.

Doug,
you need to name the disk WordPerfect

The disk isn't named 'copy of wordperpect' is it? if so you will have to rename
it to just wordperfect.

Do I understand that you want to make a copy of the WordPerfect diskette onto
another diskette? You say "dragging icons (plural, not 'icon') onto empty
disk" .. again, were you copying files by dragging indivdual icons from the
original disk (wrong!) or copying the whole disk by dragging its icon and
dropping it over the icon of the "empty" disk?
You need to do a diskcopy (drag/drop the disk icon), not a file copy (some
files won't show up as icons). Then you need to make sure that the copy
diskette has the label "Wordperfect", exactly the same as the original – rename
the copied disk to make it so.
On the other hand, maybe we're unclear as to what you're doing: perhaps you
are trying to install WordPerfect onto a hard disk. If so, come back to us and
restate the problem: there are a new set of things you may need to do on a HD
installation.
