I would like to load WordPerfect on to my hard disk and I am having trouble doing it. I don't understand what I must change in the startup sequence of my boot disk to make it work. According to the instructions, I should assign certain commands to the startup-sequence. I have tried several things and nothing seems to work. I would like some help please… Do I change the startup-sequence on the boot disk in df0: or do I change the startup-sequence on the hard disk (jh0: on my system). Can you give me a clear set of commands that I should insert? I can't seem to do the right. I have the upgraded WordPerfect 4.1. I am using an A2000 with the Bridgeboard and an external Seagate 30MB hard disk partitioned 15mb and 15mb. When I click on the WP icon it changes but nothing happens.

Unfortunately being new to the Amiga (and not having a hard disk), I can't help too much with that, but I can recommend the customer service number (toll free) found in the Installation section of the manual. Good luck – it'll be worth it!

If you followed the instructions in the installation section of the manual, all the files should be in their proper places. (Make sure you have also got a directory T on the HD.) Now, you need to let WP know where it can find the information it needs. This is done by ASSIGNs. I put mine in the HD startup-sequence. (I put WP in a directroy called wordprocessors): . .Stack 20000 Defdisk dh0: mount dh1: diskchange dh1: cd dh0: Path c: dh0:hd-utils path c: dh0:utilities copy dh0:junk/ramdisk.info ram:disk.info copy dh0:junk/vdisk.info vd0:disk.info assign t: dh0:t assign digi-view: dh0:digi-view assign wp: dh0:wordprocessors assign print: dh0:wordprocessors assign learn: dh0:wordprocessors/learn path vd0: add runback dh0:c/virusx runback dh0:c/snipit runback dh0:c/machii runback dh0:utilities/gomf2.1 setclock opt load
