  I've recently aquired a DECwriter IV teletype terminal.  I'm
planning to use it as a draft printer.  I'm sure this is possible,
but does anyone have any helpful hints/suggestions?  I've cleaned
it up, replaced the ribbon, and connected it to the serial port of
my PClone, but no luck so far.

  There is a sticker under the front cover that tells how to load
paper, etc.  It also has a diagram of a DIP switch, and tells which
are for what parity, number of bits, and a couple of other things.
HOWEVER, I can't even seem to find the DIP switches, at least without
taking the case completely apart.

  If someone should just happen to have a spare manual, I'd appreciate
your getting in touch with me.  Thank you.
