Lepton-inclusive cross sections for the process e{sup +}e{sup {minus}}{r_arrow}W{sup +}W{sup {minus}}{r_arrow}l{sup +}l{sup {minus}}{nu}{nu} are calculated. The influence of the radiative corrections and a finite decay {ital W} width is considered. Its large contribution to the total and, especially, differential cross sections of the final decay leptons is shown. The method to extract {Gamma}{sub W}, using the leptonic channel of {ital W} decay, is proposed. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
