## Using TeleGNOME

Normal teletext consists of a series of pages, which are transmitted in quick succession by the broadcaster. Whenever you want your TV to tune in on a specific page, your TV will capture that page only and show it on the screen.

Every page can have subpages, that is: the page consists of a couple of subpages. This way the numbering of pages can stay the same, but the amount of information in a page can vary. For example: the page that serves the news (101 on Dutch TV) can have just a few items of information (nothing happened in the world), and thus have no subpages, or it can have a lot of items, spread out on subpages. These subpages are usually automatically updated on your TV, timed by an interval in which the page can be read. This means that if you want to see subpage 7 and the current displayed subpage is 3, you'll have to wait some time. This can be very annoying. Also, if the timing is to fast, the page may have disappeared before you've read it, which means that you'll have to wait for the page to come up again.

Using TeleGNOME is very similar to using teletext on any regular television set, but without the sometimes irritating long waits for a page to come up.

Just like teletext on a TV, you can simply type a page number and press ENTER to load that page. This number can be any number served by the current teletext channel, and it is not restricted to the numbers shown on the current page.

You can load subpages directly by typing the page number, a dash or a slash and the subpage number. For example: if you want to load the second page of page 201, just type 201/2.

When you're ready to read the next subpage (if any) you can press the next button. This will load the next subpage. Alternatively you can just enter the requested subpage immediately using the keyboard.
