There are many, many things that the WPS can do, far more than I can mention in a brief message.
Like I wrote, most of the features you mentioned have nothing to do with the WPS but rather of HPFS, the filesystem OS/2 uses.
HPFS is what OS/2 used initially, but later IBM JFS was added, with the same behavior. -- "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up."
