    ERROR MESSAGE                                                   
       The error message "Error E46:  @@@@" indicates that two      
       files WSMSGS.OVR and WSOVLY1.OVR are missing. In dual        
       floppy setup, when WordStar files are on one disk and the    
       data is on another, the WordStar disk must be inserted in    
       drive A: and the data disk in drive B:. You can copy these   
       two files (and resolve this problem) onto your data disk.    
       This holds true for a hard disk. You must have OVLY1.OVR     
       in order to create or edit files and you must have           
       WSMSGS.OVR in order to display help menus. Also, remember    
       that WS.COM must be in the drive/directory you are in to     
       execute commands (i.e. run, merge, etc.).

       If you get the message "Too little memory" while trying      
       to initiate STYLE.COM or STARINDX.COM in WordStar 3.3,       
       these debug programs will fix it.

       When running CorrectStar in WordStar and you get the         
       message you are out of memory, reconfigure your              
       config.sys file with buffers=20 and files=40.                
                                                                    
                                                                    
    If you call CorrectStar from the WordStar main menu, you will   
    get the following message:

    Pressing R for retry allows the program to continue with no     
    further problems.

    GARBAGE IN FILE                                                 
       If you ever TYPE a WordStar document you see a lot of        
       garbage (extended ascii characters). The reason for          
       this is WordStar turns on the high-order bit on some         
       bytes, this turns standard ascii characters (0-127)          
       into extened ascii (128-255). They print on our screen       
       with the TYPE command because of extended graphics           
       characters available in our video controller board ROM.      
       If you import this file into 1-2-3, Lotus turns off all      
       these high-order bits as part of its normal import           
       process, giving you a readable ascii file.
