Using the Collider Detector at Fermilab, the {ital W}-boson differential cross section {ital d}{sigma}/{ital dP}{sub {ital T}} is measured using {ital W}{r arrow}{ital e}{nu} events in proton-antiproton collisions at {radical}{ital s} =1.8 TeV. A next-to-leading-order theoretical calculation agrees well with the data. The cross section ({sigma}) for {ital P}{sub {ital T}}{gt}50 GeV/{ital c} is measured to be 423{plus minus}58(stat){plus minus}108(syst) pb.
