HI,

     We are having a bit of a problem with WORDSTAR, version 5.5C.
The program overall works fairly normally. About as  much as one might
expect, at any rate. However, whenever I try to  backspace, either
with the backspace key, or one of the arrow keys, the program
hesitates, for up to 5 minutes, before accomplishing the backspace
action. Same with the  CTRL-S and other backspace key combinations.
     I don't have the program configured for network option.
     The machine I'm using is a UNISYS 386, with MS-DOS 4.01. All
other programs behave normally. I have another copy of WS 5.5C, and
installed that on the PC. Didn't clear the problem. Appreciate any
suggestons.
