FWIW, I've copied the relevant codes as a WP file in my computer info directory, and when I'm making a new DP report for WP output (or updating an old one, I just open that file and copy and paste the codes into DP.

I have a shorter, simpler group, that works well - I forget why I didn't like the longer string.
<236><0><0><236><130>

Very easy

Hi Charles,
Once you insert those code in the top of the DP report it fixes the problem you had and you do not need to make any changes in WP. Initially I thought it would be a big deal because almost all of my output at the time was producing WP merge files, but it ended up being a very trivial problem with a simple workaround... Bye

    Hmm.  Or, the merge code can be quickly inserted by WP.  Too bad
    it can't be fixed in DP.

    Thanks, Brian.

    Hi Charles,
Its is fortunately only a very minor annoyance... From v2.6f
    onwards header of WP mode file is not correct. As a workaround,
    insert following Printer Control code (CtrlF7, 1, B) as very top
    of a WordPerfect mode merge file

    <206><0><0><206><192><00><255><0><255><192><14>

        Hi Everybody,

        I recently converted to DP 2.6 from 2.3c after being very
hesitant to do so. (I don't like to mess with success.) I've come across what I will call a serious nuisance.
        I rely on DP to produce "DP 4.2" merge reports, which is the
        result of a secondary merge report in the "WP" disk file
mode. However, 2.6 does not produce this report properly. Instead of a "NEXTRECORD" code showing up on the first line
        when opening the file in WP, a pair of musical notes show
        up.  However, the musical notes show in the first page header
of the report definition screen in on both 2.3c and 2.6. Somehow, this code that appears the same in both versions of
        DP doesn't translate into the NEXTRECORD code when outputted
        from 2.6.

        Also, how does one find the version on 2.6 with the splash
        screen gone?

        Thanks.
        Charlie
