Hi xc<yxc<y....this is the way that I do it:

1. do your ascii-art drawing...put a smal line above the start of the
   drawing and a small line below the end of the drawing..ie:  ---
2. save it to a file
3. give it a name...and remember the name!
4. do your text mail up to where you wish to pop in your ascii-art
5. fetch the drawing from the file (I do all my stuff in Pine, so just
   have to do a ^r [cntl r] and tell files what name I want and the
   drawing pops into the next space)
6. then continue with any text still needed...and post.

This is all a very simply process on my old text-only computer.   a
sample: (now doing a ^r to get pic)

If this won't work for you, post again asking Joan, Veronica, Martin (and
others) for HELP  :-).

I don't know the URL for the FAQ, but Martin does.....
