This is the table that wordstar uses to calculate the size of
all of the characters that need to be printed on the printer.

Does anyone know the address within WS.COM that this exists?

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).
