If you simply use the BIOS calls (or high level language output routines)
characters will appear on the graphics screen.  At the lowest level they
are actually coppied from a bit map that matches the bit map ROM for
alpha mode.  This bit map is somewhere in the ROM BIOS (look in the Tech
Ref) and consists of the Characters from 01 to 7F.  IBm graciously claims
that you may provide your own bit map of the second half of the character
set if you wish.
