I'm having problems playing MIDI files (and also software arrangers) on my Roland EM20. I sent Roland an email and they responded that I need to send a command to tell the keyboard to use it's GM sound set (probably defaults to GS). They said any good sequencer has this option. I don't have a sequencer. Is there some other way of doing this? Does Pro-Tracks have this feature?

GeneralMidi On. Just send the following SysEx message at the very start of the song;

F0,7E,7F,09,01,F7

Refer to your sequencer's help for how to transmit a System Exclusive message. Then just paste in the data you see above. Please let me know if you need more help.
