The June 4, 1990 issue of PC Week says that the IBM Quickwriter 5204
emulates an IBM Proprinter XL24.  I need to know 
    a. Is this true?
    b. If true, is there a set-up string, (and/)or an internal switch, or
	will XL24 escape sequences just work?
    c. Are there other things I need to know about this emulation?
Apparently, PC Mag has a review about the Quickwriter in Vol 7 #18 p.
285, but in my efforts to keep my shelves from collapsing, I recently
discarded up to Vol 7, #20 (naturally).
