subject: Weird WP60DOS problem

  I've run into a weird problem with (old WP Corp) WP60DOS running under 
Windows for Workgroups.  When WP File Manager is used to list files *by 
descriptive file names* the system can lock up.  Using Ctrl-Alt-Delete to get 
back to Program Manager doesn't always work.  But when it does, leaving 
Windows reveals that the environment variable "prompt" has been changed to 
the value it has when you shell to DOS from Word Perfect.
  If WP File Manager lists files *by DOS filenames*, the problem does not 
occur under WFWG.  If WP is running under DOS (NOT under Windows), the 
problem does not occur, even if WP file manager is used to list files *by 
descriptive file names*.
  Any ideas?
