Why not use the Xenix version of WP?  It works much better without using
the Poor Messy Dos Kludge commonly known as VP/ix.  We started using VP/ix
and abandoned it when we had more problem calls per day (5 systems) than
from all of our mini-computer sites (over 80).

Look in some old (about May 1990) issues of Computer Shopper for some
insights on setting up WP on VP/ix (Xenix version came out shortly after
that, six months later, we were using Xenix version, it works very well.
