Subject: Announce: Brandy Basic - with teletext?!

Hi,

I've uploaded V1.21.2 - this has almost everything implemented, 
including a proper byte buffer to allow for easy recalculation of a line 
(or the entire screen), so placed characters and codes also do what they 
should. And, it hasn't impacted performance too much :)

I've also implemented a few Teletext extensions from RISC OS 5, all of 
which are under VDU23,18 and as documented on BeebWiki.

Have fun with it.
