[Coco] OS9 Idea

[coco at jechar.ca]

Should work in a coco terminal program that is accessing a Linux system 
as long as toilet
and figlet are installed on that system as they are available but not 
part of the default
I doubt that they are available directly in OS9 but maybe someone has 
ported the code figlet is the older version so perhaps would be easier 
to port.
