The WordPerfect 5.0 Developer's Toolkit (approx 200 pages) documents all 
WP 5.0 file formats (Document, .PRS, .ALL, etc.), printer driver
development, WP resource usage, Shell Program interface, and the WP 5.0
third party interface.

The third party interface allows an external program to control WP 
by intercepting/providing keyboard input, enough status information is
provided to make this a viable way to control WP.

This document is available free to developers from WordPerfect Corp.
