Until recently there have been very few measurements of the ionizing continuum in quasars. With the combination of Einstein X-ray slopes and IUE spectra for a sample of quasars, this continuum can now be better constrained. Here we take a preliminary look for relations between the shape of this continuum and the emission lines produced over the observed range of continuum properties.
