$ WPThis immediately places you into a blank WordPerfect document. Some important keys to know while in a document are listed in Table 5.1.
PC users familiar with WordPerfect will be pleased to know files created using WordPerfect v5.1 on the PC can be copied to a VMS system, edited, and printed with no loss of formatting. This means margins, bolding, underlining, and other attributes are not lost so transferring documents between a PC and a VMS system is easy.
Users familiar with the PC version of WordPerfect will find that there is a difference in the mapping of function keys. The functions are all there, but the way you invoke commands is different. There are keypad templates available for all VMS users who have a keyboard with 20 function keys at the top of the keyboard. Stop by the VMS Support Office to pick one up. A limited number of copies of the WordPerfect Reference Manual are also available and can be checked out from the library.
Most WordPerfect are invoked by pressing at least two consecutive keystrokes. Figure 5.1 shows the command keystroke sequences used on certain VT200 and VT300 series keyboards--the keystrokes will be implemented differently on other keyboards, such as those found on Sun workstations. Several of the commands will bring up menus from which you select options.
Files can be transferred from a PC to a VMS system via Kermit. If you need to do this, directions are available. Send mail to VMSSUPPORT.
Some people do not ever want broadcast messages sent to the terminal while editing a WordPerfect document. There is a special way to turn off these messages permanently.

Q: How often do I need to save a document to disk so my work will not be lost due to something abnormal, like a power outage?
A: WordPerfect has been configured to make automatic backup copies every 15 minutes. These files are usually written to the location pointed to by the logical sys$scratch. These timed backup files are deleted when you exit WordPerfect properly.
Q: There was a power outage while I was creating a document. How can I recover my work?
A: When you start WordPerfect after a non-standard exit, you should see this message:
"Backup files exist. Retrieve backups by pressing Home Retrieve (PF4,PF1,F18) in an empty document."
This message appears each time you enter WordPerfect until you retrieve, save or delete the backup file.
Q: How many people can use WordPerfect at once?
A: The Institute license allows 40 concurrent users.
Q: I have a WordPerfect document and I want to send a copy to someone, can I mail it?
A: It depends what the recipient plans to do with the document. If you simply want a person to read the document, it is best to create an ASCII file of the document while in WordPerfect and then mail this ASCII file. Create the ASCII file this way:
If you want someone to have a WordPerfect document and continue to use it as a WordPerfect document, you need to get the file to the recipient "as is". If the user is local (such as Publications), simply give that person access to the file or copy it to a place where the recipient can access it.
