Odd Quasar HHC-type handheld / What is it? :)

Hi everyone! :)

I've come into possession of a Quasar Information
Processor, touting a model number of HC2000A. It's a
small device, say 4"x6" or so... It is designed much
like the Panasonic / Quasar HHC RL-H1x00 (ca. 1983)
computer series, just is not quite as large. It also
has the same ROM 'capsule' type setup as the rest of
the HHC series. Beyond that, it becomes a lot
different. It has 3 'ROM' capsules - English 1,
Spanish 1, and Italian 1, in capsule positions L1, L2,
and L3. It has a 1x16 char. blue VFD-type display. It
has a small chicklet keyboard, with the letters
arranged alphabetically. There are four keys on the
left hand side labelled L1 through L4. There's a SHFT
button, an EXT button, a PHR button, a LRN button, an
F/S button, a ROT button, a SCH button, a HLD button,
a C/E button, and, finally, a CLR button. Judging from
the above, it seems like it might've been some sort of
translation device (?) type thing made to accompany
the HHC series. Alas, I've not been able to figure out
how it works as of yet. It functions; I am just not
sure as to what is needed for input.

I've searched, but can't seem to find any reference to
it anywhere. If anyone has any info about it or how to
use it, I'd be much obliged if you might be able to
toss it this way.

Thanks! :)

Andy
