In answer to your question about composite monitors with hi-res text modes,
I saw something that seems to fit the need exactly, in a recent Compute!
(The ad has run for at least a couple months now, I think...) The company
is named "Thomson" and can be reached at 1-800-325-0464. In California you
have to call 1-213-568-1002. The hours are 9-5 M-F PST. Specifically, the
ad lists:
	o Compatibility with IBM, Apple, Commodore, Atari, and others.
	  (No surprise - how widely can you vary a composite video line?)

	o Choice of monochrome or color monitors with TV grade to hi-res
	  text and graphics

	o Monochrome text editing mode for color monitors
	  (This seems to be the most relevant point...)

	o Alternate use as cable or VCR monitor

No model numbers or prices appear in the ad, so I guess you'll just have to
find out if they're as affordable as the ad claims. Standard disclaimer...
The only relation I have to this company is thru having seen their ad in a
magazine I subscribe to...
