Does anyone know if a good single page Word Star key command cheat sheet? 

Or more accurately, a general CP/M application cheat sheet, seeing as how many CP/M programs use that same set.

I really just want it for ZDE, but funding a Word Star one is more likely.

Will the menu comments from the ZDE source do?

Is this the sort of thing you are looking for? Wordstar Command Reference or Wordstar Reference Card
There's various out there. Maybe do a search and see what works for you?

2 pages, but I can do front and back. Perfect! You're my hero! 

Thanks
