We really need stuff like this captured, tested, and added to the Wiki, well, if it works as intended. Who wants to be voted the next "Clippy?" Not it! Ouch! Guys, quit throwing stuff at me!!!

I am the author.

Why does everybody want this to be in SCREEN 0?  Is it some ideological thing?

I want access to more than the EGA palette.

when it comes to text based games SCREEN 0 is usually the norm. But if your after a larger palette then yeah.
Could go straight up with a graphics mode and use an image based font.
