WORDSTAR.DOC
================================================================
There are two sections to this file. The first section deals
with conversion of code from WordStar 3.3, 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0
to WordPerfect 6.0. The second section is concerned with
conversion of code from WordPerfect 6.0 to WordStar 3.3, 3.31,
3.4, 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0.
Where an entire function family (for example, Advance Up, Advance
Down, Advance Left, etc.) converts OR does not convert, only one
entry is made (for example, Advance) and the conversion is
listed. Where most of a function family converts similarly,
usually only the exceptions are listed. Since most codes convert
to a functionally close or exact match, these tables emphasize
the differences. If a code or function is not listed, it
converts transparently to the other format.
================================================================
Section 1 - WordStar 3.3, 3.31, 3.4, 4.0, 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0 to
WordPerfect 6.0
