Jen: Obviously it could be a software or setup problem, but I had
terrible problems of the type you describe when running DOS programs
on one PC, and it was due to the keyboard. It was always shifting
into "shifted" state and wouldn't come out of it (which meant you
couldn't use F7 to exit). You might try using another keyboard with that PC.

Dear all Dataperfect users
I normally use DP under Shell (the version of Shell.exe from 1991).
When I put the various parameters right for Windows to run this
(memory etc.) this goes smoothly. But on one particular PC (Win XP)
I cannot exit (close) the SHELL menu with F7. The only way is to
exit is via Taskmanager (Shell does not die, nor does the PC, I just
cannot close shell). It puzzles me, for on another PC with
(seemingly) the same parameters fro running Shell under XP I have no
such problem. Does any of you have a clue?
I also discovered that if I do not set my parameters right in XP I
often get "strange" characters when using some of the function keys
in DP, especially F7 and its shifted combinations (whether under
shell or not). I am not sure exactly what goes on, but this I seem
to have solved at least for the moment)
With bets regards
