 WPSTRIP(<expC> [,<N spaces per tab>])
 Eliminates word-processing characters from text.
 Returns <expC> with spaces replacing tabs, line-feeds, and carriage-returns.

 <spaces per tab> will be substituted for each tab character in <expC>.
 Valid range is from zero to 16; default is 1 if omitted.

 Useful in editing and handling word-processed files as
 non-processed straight text.

 ASCII values of word-processing characters stripped are:
