I didn't see the question that prompted Fred Brundick's reply about using the
^Q,^W,^E,^R user options in Wordstar*.  As long as the subject has come up, I
have a question that perhaps one of you readers could answer for me.  I have
Wordstar* running under CP/M and I have a dot matrix printer.  As a result of
this combination, I cannot use many of the standard features.  Things like
super-script and sub-script are assumed to be done with half-spacing.  But
on my printer (which cannot half-space either direction) they are done by
printing half-height characters.  Similar situations exist for bold printing,
double width, italics, etc....  All of these features use escape sequences
that are different from what Wordstar wants to apply.  As you can see, the
four user options available are insufficient to cover my needs.  In addition,
when you set them up, they aren't given a description in the menus.  So, my
question is - is there a way to change the standard options to fit my require-
ments?  Obviously, I don't have the source for Wordstar.  Can anyone help me?

                                     Thanks,
