INQUIRE WORKSTATION STATE VALUE returns whether or not the
PHIGS state is WSOP. 

If you want to know if a particular workstation is open you should use
an inquiry which will return an error if the specified workstation is
not open. INQUIRE WORKSTATION CONNECTION AND TYPE is just such an
inquiry. It should only return an error if there are no workstations
open ( error #3 ) or if the specified workstation is not open ( error
#54 )
