[Coco] OS-9 coco2b lowercase

[L. Curtis Boyle]

POKE 65314,80 give full green background as well as lowercase (no black border). The print vector in BASIC will normally change this back on you, though, when you return to the OK prompt. If you are running OS-9/NitrOS9, you should be able to patch the VDG driver to keep this mode on at all times as well (somebody did do that way back for OS-9 Level 1, version 2.x, from what I remember).
