ENVIRONMENT FILENAME SYNTAX CHANGE
==================================
For compliance with CD ROM, environment filenames now use
underscores (_) instead of brackets ({ }).  For example, the
WordPerfect environment file, WP{WP}.ENV in previous versions, is
now named WP_WP_.ENV.

DISABLING PASSWORD PROTECTION
=============================
Using the BIF Editor, you can disable the Password Protect option
to prevent users from password protecting the files they create. 
To disable this option, double-click the WPCNET Flagging icon, go
to the WordPerfect group, Environment section, and select the
Password Protect Enable item.  Choose Edit, select False, then
choose OK.  Select Override Private .BIF Value.

DISABLING PASSWORD ASTERISKS
============================
If you don't want asterisks to appear while typing passwords (for
security reasons), flag the Don't Echo Password Asterisks setting
as True.  This setting is found in the Open File section of the
WP Shared Code group in the BIF Editor.  Flag the setting as
False to make asterisks appear.

DISABLING OPEN FILE OPTIONS
===========================
Using the BIF Editor, you can disable the options on the File
Options pop-up list (for example, Remove Directory or Move) in
the directory dialog boxes that you don't want your users to have
access to.

To disable specific File Options for all network users, 

1    In the BIF Editor, open the WPCNET.BIF file, double-click
     the WP Shared Code group, then double-click the Open File
     section.

2    Choose Insert, then type Remove File Options in the Item
     text box.

3    Choose Signed Word from the Item Type pop-up list.

4    Type the value which corresponds to the option you want to
     disable in the Value text box.  The values for specific
     options are as follows:

     Copy                     1
     Move                     2
     Rename                   4
     Delete                   8
     Print                    128
     Print List               256
     Create Directory         32
     Remove Directory         64

If you want to disable all options, type -1.  If you want to
disable multiple options, add the values of the options you want
to disable, then type that number. For example, if you want to
disable the Delete and Remove Directory options, type 72.

IMPROVING VIEWER PERFORMANCE
============================
You can improve the speed of the Viewer by placing the Viewer
files in a separate directory.  To do this, create a VIEWERS
subdirectory and copy VWRFAX20.DLL, VWRSND20.DLL, VWRTXT20.DLL,
VWRWPG20.DLL, and WPVW20US.DLL into that directory.  Double-click
the WPCNET Flagging icon and add a "File Locations" section to
the "WP Shared Code" group.  In the new section, add a "Viewers"
item which is an ANSI strings item type with a trailing
backslash.

POWER BAR TIPS
==============
The Font/Size list is dependent upon TrueType, built-in printer,
ATM, and Vector fonts set up on the machine you use for a server
installation.  Only fonts that are added through the Windows
Control Panel can be added to the lists.  We recommend that you
use the Windows Control Panel to make sure the fonts are
installed, set up, and available to your users.

WRITING TOOLS AND WTAPI.INI
===========================
The WTAPI.INI file contains settings for each writing tool (for
example, Speller, Thesaurus, and Grammatik).  When you use a
writing tool, WordPerfect first looks in the Windows directory
for WTAPI.INI. If the file isn't found there, WordPerfect looks
in the WIN.INI file in the section called [Writing Tools] in an
entry called WTAPIPATH for its location.  If you performed a
Corporate installation, an entry is placed in the .BIF file
pointing to the WTAPI.INI.  During workstation installations the
WTAPIPATH entry is placed in the [Writing Tools] section of each
user's WIN.INI file and points to the location of the writing
tools.  NOTE: You cannot change the names of writing tools using
the Edit Menu dialog box.

BINARY INITIALIZATION FILE (.BIF) TIPS
======================================
To store users' .BIF files in an area other than the Windows or
Shared network area, specify a "relative" drive letter (for
example, H:) for the Shared Directory on Network option (under
Net Options).  The Installation program will place the /PI
startup option along with the directory you have specified in the
WP_WP_.ENV file.  When you start WordPerfect, it will read the
.ENV file, and save users'.BIF files to the users' mapping of H:. 
If you store users' .BIF files in this way, we recommend that you
remove the /NT switch from the WP_WP_.ENV file since name hashing
won't be necessary.

The WPCNET.BIF file is found in the directory specified by the
/NI startup option or in the Windows system directory.  


ABOUT .UNR FILES
================
If you use name hashing, a User Name Resolution (.UNR) file is
created to avoid duplicate hashed .BIF names.  This file is
placed in the location specified by the /UNR startup option or in
the Windows directory.  See Appendix M: Startup Options in the
Reference Manual for more information.

The naming convention for the .UNR file has changed from the
eight characters that were documented in Appendix M: Startup
Options to only four.  The .UNR file will be created with a
pattern of XXXX.UNR where X represents characters from a 32-bit
CRC based on the user ID.  

SUPPLEMENTARY DICTIONARY FILES
==============================
The default location for user supplementary dictionary files is
the Windows directory.  You can change this location by adding a
group called "WPSpeller," with a section called "Settings," and
an item called "Default Path for Supplementary Dictionaries" in
the WPCNET.BIF file.  The item type is ANSI string.  You can use
a full path or a relative drive letter.  The Supplementary
Dictionary File naming convention is WxxxxxUS.SUP, where the five
x's represent the hashed name based on the user name.

MAKING QUICKFINDER INDEXES AVAILABLE ON THE NETWORK
===================================================
To save network disk space, you can index the files on a network
and create one set of network QuickFinder indexes that all users
may access.  As the supervisor, you need to generate the network
indexes and then place information about these indexes in the
public .BIF file (WPCNET.BIF) so that users may access the
indexes.

NOTE: Because you cannot edit the WPCNET.BIF file while it is in
use, you will need to make these changes when no users are
running WPWin.

To make QuickFinder indexes available to network users,

1    Start WPWin using the WPCNET settings.

2    Choose QuickFinder from the File menu, then choose Indexer.

3    Select Preferences from the Options pop-up list.

4    In the Location for Index Files text box, specify a network
     directory where users can access the indexes you will
     create.

5    Choose OK.

6    Generate indexes of network directories.  See QuickFinder in
     the WordPerfect Reference manual for more information.

     You can create network or "search only" indexes with unique
     names that will sort all of those types of indexes together. 
     For example, starting each network index with "(NET)" would
     keep all indexes that began with "(NET)" together.

7    Choose Import from the Options pop-up list.

8    Select the directory that contains the indexes you generated
     in step 6.

9    Select the indexes you want to make available to users on
     the network.

10   Choose Import.

     NOTE: If any indexes require a name, you will be prompted
     for a new name.

11   Choose Close.

12   Exit WPWin.

13   Double-click the WPCNET Flagging icon and open the
     WPQuickFinderFileIndexer group.

14   Delete the "Indexes" section and each index name that
     appears on the item list.

15   Close the BIF Editor.

While network users can search or get information from the
network indexes you make available to them using these steps,
they cannot update, edit, delete, move, or rename them.

USING THE /CSLA STARTUP OPTION
==============================
WordPerfect 6.0 for Windows' login alias switch allows for
lowercase characters.  Most networks, however, return the user's
ID in uppercase characters.  This could cause a problem when
generating a hash on the values.  The hash based on the user ID
should be done on the uppercase version of the login alias only.

WordPerfect 6.0 for Windows has set the login alias to uppercase
by default.  If you want the login alias be case sensitive, the
Case Sensitive Login Alias (/CSLA) startup option suppresses
uppercasing.

LAUNCHING WPDRAW
=================
To launch WPDraw when running the WPCNET Settings copy of
WordPerfect, a path must be changed in the Windows registration
database if the WPDraw program was installed to a directory other
than the WPWin60 directory.

To make the change,

1    Choose Run from the File menu in Windows Program Manager.

2    Type REGEDIT /V, including the full pathname if necessary.

3    Scroll down to the WPChart21 entry, change the "server="
     line to the path where WPDRWIN.EXE is installed.

4    Choose Save Changes from the file menu, then choose Exit
     from the File menu.

USING THE AUTOFILL MACRO
========================
Many of the templates included with WPWin 6.0 make use of the
AUTOFILL.WCM macro.  The information gathered during execution of
the autofill macro is saved in the default template file
specified in Preferences.  If the default template is in a read-
only area execution will stop when the macro tries to save the
users' information to the template.  There are two possible ways
to let users save their own information using autofill.

1) Double-click the WPCNET Settings icon.  On the File
Preferences screen set the Default File for Templates to
"STANDARD.WPT" - without a path.  Set the Default Directory for
Templates to an area where the users have write access (local
drive or personal network directory). The disadvantage to this
setup is that only Status and Power Bar settings from the master
files are passed on to the user, Button Bars and Menu Bars are
not passed on.

2) The second option allows all settings to be passed on to the
user.  To do this set the full path to the template Default File
(e.g. y:\apps\wpwin60\templates\Standard.wpt).  The Default
Directory for templates should be left blank or set to a
read/write area.  Before running the Autofill macro the users
must copy the Default File to their personal template directory
then remove the path shown in the Default File text box - leaving
only the template filename.

USING RELATIVE DRIVE LETTERS
============================
File Preferences can be customized to fit each users' drive
mappings by using relative drive letters.  Start the BIF Editor
by double-clicking the WPCNET Flagging icon.  Open the
WordPerfect group and then the Files section.  Select one of the
items such as Backup Directory and click the Edit button. Type in
the drive letter (followed by a colon) which is mapped to the
desired directory location. For example, if "H:" were entered
then all Backup Files will be created in the users' directory
mapped to "H".  The relative paths are expanded to the full path
the first time each user enters WPWin 6.0 and remains set to that
path.

USING THE /U SWITCH
===================
The /U switch has different functionality in WPWin 6.0 than it
did in previous versions of WordPerfect.  The value set for /U is
now used for BIF file naming and user information in comment and
document summary fields.  A maximum of four characters can be
used; if more than four characters are used the whole switch is
ignored.

If both the /NT and /U switches are used then the value of /U is
inserted as characters 4-8 of the filename.  For example, if
/U=gray is set and the user's network name is "blue" then the
personal BIF file name would be BLUEGRAY.BIF.  Without the
/U=gray the personal BIF filename would be BLUEFU0S.BIF where
"fu0s" is the hashed portion of the name.  The /U value replaces
the hashed portion of the filename.
