   I'm not surprised, honestly. The Ctrl-A escape sequences are likely going to   
   cause issues. You *might* have be better luck using a string literal   
   assignment (colon instead of equals), but probably not.

   There's probably a better solution, like just using a custom replacment for   
   the yesnobar/noyesbar mods when in this teletextmode.
