	Wordperfect files have soft returns at the end of each line.
I don't believe that Wordstar uses carriage returns in its paragraphs.
The soft returns that Wordperfect uses are codes it knows, but are 
unimportant.  All you need to do is to ensure that no carriage returns
or linefeeds are in the paragraphs, so that they would look like long 
text lines.  Wordperfect should then do its automatic hyphenation and
margin setting when you load the file.  Also, Wordperfect does not use
the high bits of characters, as Wordstar does, so that stripping is
necessary.
