Derek,

	I'm sure someone will hammer you for saying that later.  But if you have
to type alt+anything then you're not drawing ASCII art.  In fact you're using a
set of characters which are specific to that operating system and are severely
limiting your viewing audience.  (In this case, you'd be restricting it to
IBM-PC DOS users.)

	For more details on what is and is not ASCII refer to the FAQ.  It's
posted frequently, and is available in HTML form at
