Equivalence is expressed with a double equal sign in XPL: "==".

I don't quite understand the logic of the above. The way it reads, you only
want to switch into draft mode if your initial mode is expanded. In that case,
the entire routine should be conditional:

==0>BX d dt=1Q2 ...other code here...BX d dt=100Q2 

But if you want to switch into draft mode regardless of the initial mode, you'd
say:

>{less than}1>BX d dt=1Q2 ...other code
here...BX d dt=Q2

You're restoring the original display type whether you switched or not, which
is unnecessary.
