The proportional space table of WordStar 3.0 starts at 07d8h.  It is
toggled in with ^P (this is undocumented in the operators manual).

Table starts with <sp> and continues in ASCII order to 0837h.  From the
manual: "bits 4-6 are moderate adjustments to apply to non-proportional
typewheels; value is relative width in 60ths, space=5.  bits 0-2 are
for true proportional spacing typewheel (theme p.s. 10, etc), space=3.
bits 0 and 4 are unassigned."

I'm not quite sure what that all means.  Values in those locations run
from 32 (.,') to 67 (W).
