How do I prevent “xwp” from starting the wrong version of WordPerfect?

(This problem obviously applies only to the minority who keep multiple editions of WP for Linux on tap.) “xwp” in some editions, such as 2003-4’s “pilot project” re-release and WP 8.1 PE, is a symbolic link pointing to a launcher script. (Thus, you should rename any existing /usr/bin/xwp, before installing, as the installer will overwrite it.) In others, it’s a binary: Run “file” on it to tell. You may have to do some debugging and creation of your own symlinks to untangle multiple editions’ startup mechanisms.
