Sorry, I can't help you.  I also have problems with WordPerfect 5.1 and
Windows 3.0.  Here's my basic system set-up: 25 MHz Acer 1100 386, 4 MB,
Logitech TrackMan (bus version), Lantastic (only as a redirector though),
and Windows running in enhanced mode.

Some of the problems I have:

   * If I start up windows, and then start up WordPerfect as a full screen
     DOS application, WordPerfect kills windows and exits straight to DOS
     when I exit a document via F7.

   * If I run WordPerfect from DOS before running windows, and then exit
     WordPerfect and run windows, windows does not recognize any mouse input.

   * The above two problems are without running the Lantastic software.  If
     I start up Lantastic, enter windows, and then start up WordPerfect I
     keep getting the error "wp.fil (0) not found" [or something to that
     effect].  This error prohibits me from using, or even exiting,
     WordPerfect.

    
If anyone has any clues on how I can get WordPerfect 5.1, Windows 3.0,
and Lantastic to coexist peacefully, I would love to hear about it.

Thanks...Joakim
