Before I invest in a 520St or Amiga, I
need to know if you can define your own character  sets and how fast do the 
corresponding characters appear on the screen.
Do you have to load in the entire frame
from disk to keep text screens
composed of smaller or larger than normal characters?
In essence, is their a display list mechanism or do you have to create those larger
characters?

zimmermn@uiowa          CSNET or
ccsmszwy@mvsuia         BITNET.
