I thnk they were pulling your pilsner - you use mode7 to display
teletext ON A BBC MICRO :-)

You may have to design your own font for this. The American teletext
system may also use a different character set from the European one.

However, there is allegedly an ANSI standard for the American system
which can be had for roughly $1,234,567 after a 37 week lead time.

If you want the real info on this, there's only one way: contact
Philips - they make the decoder chipsets used by almost everyone,
and would do almost anything to help a teletext user (provided it
does not involve spending money).
