I used DisplayWrite in the dim days of my first computer job, and
now I'm faced with helping someone (if possible) generate documents
on Wordperfect 5.1 and convert them for use on DisplayWrite. My
sense was to suggest using WP 5.1's Ctrl-F5 to save the document as a 
DOS text, then use a DisplayWrite conversion program to pull it into
that system. But does one exist? I can't remember. And maybe there's
a better suggestion somewhere...

I tried calling Wordperfect's help-phone-line for this, and they
claimed they didn't know. I thought DisplayWrite was a product of
theirs in the same generic family?
