Yes, this has been done many times.    I have a feeling there is a new script for it in the Ed Depot - Pending, but I could be making that up.

In any event, you don't need a special script, you have a list of commands that displays what you want.    So if you were using titletexts you'd have

titleText ["N", "plain", 1]
~1
titleText ["No", "plain", 1]

etc

macguba is absolutely correct. There is a script in the ed depot called "type writer text"--but it isn't pending. I'm surprised you didn't find the script, because it is listed on the OFPEC main page under the 'Editors Depot Submissions' window, and it is called exactly what you are looking for. So I'm surprised your search didn't find it.  :P
