Save yourself the trouble, and don't even attempt to use 8.53 on an XT.  Once
you press the F8 (check partials) key, the key stroke-by-key stroke automatic
check partial is enabled.  This results in unacceptably slow performance on an
XT.  The undocumented "-k1xm" startup option to disable the automatic check
partial only works on an AT or higher class PC.  An upgraded laptop running CT
9, or brand "N" software on an XT is a better answer.
