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):
