DN>I downloaded a 130K data file from Internet yesterday, a simple
 DN>ASCII listing of people married in Greenup Co., KY 1910-1912. I can
 DN>look at it with LIST, edit it with QEdit or WP 6.1W, and view it
 DN>(F5,Enter) with 5.1+.
 DN>BUT, I can't F5,1-Retrieve it into 5.1+. The HD light goes BURP and
 DN>that's it! (P100/16M RAM, 500M free HD.) I've waited  up to 30
 DN>seconds and nothing--just the WIN95 interrogation blink of the HD
 DN>access light after that. (Another 250K DOS file takes 10 seconds to
 DN>load.) I've looked at most of the file with LIST in the HEX mode and
 DN>see nothing but ASCII characters, except for the ^Z at the end.
 DN>Just when you think you know it all about something! POW! Sheeze!
 DN>I'm running WP 5.1+ from a Batch file via a ShortCut on the Desktop.
Possibly it doesn't like the crtl-z on the end.
What happens when you ctrl-F5,1,2?
