I am trying to install Word Perfect 5.0 on a Zenith 148
dual floppy PC. The printer is a NEC Silent-Writer 890 (Postscript).

In the process of selecting the printer I keep runing out of room
on the WP-2 disk. There is only about 9K left initially so I am
not suprised about this. I have succesfully installed an IBM Graphics
printer so I think I have the technique down right. It has since
been removed and I am trying to replace it with the Postscript printer.

What can I do to get more space on the WP-2 disk. I have tried removing
all but the WP executable file and that gave me >20K but it still wasn't
enough. Can I configure this thing so that it will place the .prs file and
look for it on the other diskette.

Is there a way to tell WP to use the other disk for temporary file storage
for other parts of the program, like printing from the screen.
