If you are installing PerfectKeys 5.0 for use with WordPerfect 5.0 follow the same instructions, but substitute WP50 for WP51 in the examples. The PerfectKeys installation process involves five steps: 1.Checking your system. Before beginning the installation process, make certain that your computer meets these system requirements: IBM (or compatible) XT, AT, EISA or PS2 system (systems that run WordPerfect DOS versions 5.0 or 5.1) DOS 2.0 or later version WordPerfect 5.0 (release date 1-3-89 or later) or WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS. A hard disk with WordPerfect installed that has at least 400k of available space. 8K of RAM (Random Access Memory) beyond the requirements of WordPerfect 5.0 or 5.1. A floppy drive capable of reading either a 360k, 5 1/4" or 720K, 3 1/2" disk. 2.Preparing for Installation.

This is the directory in which WP.EXE is located and from which WordPerfect is run. The drive on which you want PerfectKeys installed. This can be any available hard drive, but we recommend you install PerfectKeys on the same drive as WordPerfect. The PerfectKeys setup program will create a directory called ?:\PERFKEY in the root directory of the drive you specify. Make certain that you don't already have a directory with this name. The drive and directory in which your WordPerfect macros are installed. If you aren't sure how WordPerfect is installed on your system, you can check your installation by following the steps below: 1.press Shift-F1 (to access WordPerfect's Setup menu). 2.press 6 or L (to access the Location of Files submenu).

When you have all the information, begin installing PerfectKeys following the steps below: 1.Place the PerfectKeys software disk into an appropriate floppy drive. 2.At a DOS prompt type ?:setup (? is the drive in which you placed the software disk). For example you would type A:SETUP if you placed the PerfectKeys disk in drive A:. 3.Press Enter to start the PerfectKeys setup program and begin installation. Answer questions and enter information when you are prompted by the setup program. You will see the following messages/prompts appear on your screen during installation: Enter the version of WordPerfect you are using. Enter '0' for version 5.0 or '1' for version 5.1.
