Large numerals with TV_WText

AGCB

As part of a home built ATV project I'd like to install a 'GLASS PANEL". Something like the instrument panel on newer cars. This would have several temperature readouts, a numeral style clock and multiple other info displayed. What I'm now trying to do is put the digital speedometer in the center of the screen but in large digits. I've figured out how to display the large digits using TV_WText windows but am hoping there is a way to maybe put the 10 digits in a DAT block so they could be displayed as needed and easily called with a minimum of code. I pretty sure this is easily done but at the moment I am stumped as to how to go about it. I haven't use DAT memory for any but simple strings etc.

Here is what I've come up with to display a big numeral 2. Only 9 digits to go but how to make it easy I don't know.

  CHGCLR        = $17  'change all colors in window to C (C follows)
  SHOSCR        = $19  'copy display buffer to screen buffer.
  CLRW          = $1E  'same as CLR, but can be used in strings.
  ESC           = $1F  'escape next character C (i.e. print as-is) (C follows)
  ZERO          = $FF  'can be used for 0, which is not allowed in strings, for command arguments
