I am making a couple of corrections to the wp2latex program. One problem I
encountered was that the program initializes the tabstops to 1.5 cm each,
but the WP files I have seen seem to have tab stops every 0.5 inch. Is this
a difference between different versions, e.g American vs. European? If so,
is it deductible from the file. Or what is the correct value?

This is the first time I have worked with WP, and I don't have any doc.
