WordPerfect for the Amiga does not incorporate all of the features
in version 5.0 under MS DOS.  However, you can certainly export
files from the Amiga version and load them into the MS-DOS version.

Going the other way can leave codes in the document that the Amiga
version doesn't understand, but that can easily be edited out (I
did this once).
