     If the main difference is that the A version cannot print a handful
of special characters, that's not such a big deal. But what about
graphics? This conversation leads me to believe that you cannot
'hot-key' the screen from the hp48 to the hp82240A, the way you
could with the 28, using on-L. What's the word on this one?
