Corel® WordPerfect®

The product commands and system variables in Corel WordPerfect are essentially the same as those for the previous version. Backward compatibility was maintained except where certain operating system or product feature changes made it impossible.

Obsolete System Variables and Product Commands

Obsolete system variables and product commands are commands that are no longer part of Corel WordPerfect. They have usually been replaced by new commands that are more consistent with the new version of the program. In a few instances, partial functionality has been preserved in obsolete commands.
