Do you mean the box drawing characters? That's not the same thing as ascii art. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_art If what you need is the former - semi-graphic characters that let you.. or a program.. draw continuous lines & right angles so you can build boxes (squares, rectangles..) in a non-graphic (text-mode) context you would need to be more specific as to what you are trying to do (draw the boxes under an editor, maybe.. ) and where you are trying to do it. Are you are using some text-mode application in a terminal (xterm? linux console? ..) and it is not displaying its menus.. popups.. frames.. *boxes* .. correctly? Or am I misunderstanding you..? Please provide more info & someone may be able to help. cga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
