I'm slightly amending QStripper to read Quill files for the PC. I've

It's Hex(13) or 19 Decimal.
I *think* it could be italics on/off, but I'm not sure and could be
making it up!
Does anyone know?
PC Four and Xchange PC do indeed support italics so it may well be the
code for that. The codes in Quill files usually act as toggles, so the
first 19 might be italics on, the second 19 might be italics off.
But that's not the only new facility in them of course. Reading an old
review I find it also supports "sequence presets" which allow the
insertion of predefined phrases such as "Yours Sincerely" into
documents, but I couldn't pick up whether they are encoded by a
control code in the file with control codes or not.
I have found a copy of pcfour here, but it fails to run on Windows 7
64 bit. I'll see if I can persuade Ann's laptop (XP) to run it. If I
can, I'll save and send some sample files to you.

Yes, I've just had a look a at XCHANGE on PC and it is called GLOSSARY.
One can store text strings up to 250 chrs, recalled by pressing F5 and
the character. But the code isn't embedded in the text.
