Can you say “Teletext”?
Yeah, I know Teletext well. Over the years I did a ton of work on the Linux kernel to support receiving VBI for various USB/PCI TV tuners (including Teletext). I doubt it was Teletext in this specific case though. Teletext generally breaks down the content into "pages" and you have minimal control over how they are displayed. In this case, the DOS application lets you pick specifically which stock quotes to display/monitor, and thus the data was in some structured format but unlikely to be organized into pages by the headend.
