The Prowriter is configured as a "Non-backspacing printer" with "No
communications protocol" and output is to the "Primary list device".
The following are printer patches for WS version 3.33 .  Rather than
going through the long installation (WINSTALL), use DDT.  The save
length for this version is 75.
