So, for those following along. I couldn't get anywhere with the Handic
Software Videotex cartridge. The C= did a few things with various keys
but nothing I could actually define.

The enter/return key sent # which is expected and CTRL-M seemed to send
a linefeed, but I couldn't see it connecting to tcpser at all. I've
spent a couple of hours trying to find a manual online but nothing.



Then I came across this gem

https://archive.org/details/GatewayVideotexVTX64SoftwareForUseWithCommodore641985

I downloaded the "ISO Image" which is a .d64 disk image, however it
seems corrupt as I load the program

LOAD"VTX64",8

then when I run it, I get a syntax error in line 42394

When I LIST it looks corrupt. 42394 is SQRGOSUB followed by line 169
then 47648.

I don't seem to be able to find another image anywhere.

So...stuck again :(
