I just got WordPerfect (4.1.9  Aug 10 1988).  I figured
that all the bugs should be worked out by now.  However
I discovered that I loose 50k of memory for just 
invoking the sucker (no file load, no print, no nothing)
and it apparently doesn't come back.  I called WP and
the answerer (Cody) said that it was a known problem
that would be corrected in the NEXT version.

Note my revision date (Aug 1988)!  Given the recent discussion
about the decision of WP to hold off on further development,
my revision date (and it is the newest) makes one wonder
when that decision was made internally.


In any case, this far into revisions and they still have
a problem with un-flushed libraries.  Shame on you WP.
