   Sure I'd be willing to look into it although it might end up being an Alpha 48   
   feature since I am pretty close to releasing A47 I think.  Things have been   
   mostly stable so I want to get a release out officially before I start making   
   bigger changes again.   
      
   The biggest hurdle is probably that I don't have a Commodore or know too much   
   about PETSCII.  Its just something I never look into before as I don't think   
   anyone has asked in the past.  I would want a reliable way to test (maybe an   
   emulator could be used since I don't have the hardware?) and one or two people   
   who can test it as well to help provide some feedback.
