Subject: NEC8023/Wordstar Hints (Some Success)

Well, I gave up trying to get Wordstar to use the proportional-width
font on the NEC8023.
I did, however, manage to get superscripts and subscripts.
The trick is to set line spacing to half normal, then send TWO linefeeds
at the end of each line.  The patches used are:
LOCATION       VALUES          COMMENTS
PSINIT:                04 1B 54 31 32  set line spacing to 12/144"
PSCRLF:                03 0D 0A 0A     send extra linefeed at end-of-line
PSHALF:                02 0D 0A        single linefeed gives half-vertical-space

I had tried this before and it didn't work, because I was not aware that
PSHALF: should include a carriage return.  Thanks to the compilers of
the WS patch files on Mit-mc for pointing this out.
If anyone finds that this causes problems with other features, please let
me know.  Anyone else have good patches for the NEC8023?
