The problem is there are MANY flexowriter codes. Flexos were
customized for all sorts of installations. There is no single
standard code.  The one attached to my LGP-21, for example, is
modified to generate LGP-21 opcodes ("B" generates the BRING
opcode, for example).

You'll need to find the code used with the Wang product(s)
or use standard code-breaking techniques to work it out.
Should be easy since it's plaintext.
