:)

I once wrote a DME macro on the Amiga that enabled a sort of airbrush
painting mode with the mouse. It used some kind of dot density sequence
like [.,:;*%], and each time the mouse passed over one of the characters
with the button pressed it upped the 'density' by one in the current and
immediately surrounding characters.

The thing is, it wasn't actually any good. If you wanted to write a proper
version, it'd need to know the current position of the mouse pointer
within each character cell for a pencil/lindedraw mode.

You don't???

And I thought that you had an ascii-program that popped out pictures
much like those electric organs that play arpeggiated scales with the
touch of one key.

Try the following

  pushf
  xor ax,ax
  mov ax,byte ptr 1
  mov bx,[ascii]
  mov al,[emacs]
  pop

PoPped?

Sorry. I still haven't got TheDraw.
