(1) Make sure you limit it to 70 columns
(2) Make sure you use a monospaced [typewriter] font like 'courrier'.
If aol won't do such a font, you have problems,
which can be solved by getting an account with a real ISP :-).

[Obviously you all have to use the same, typewriter, font---if 
everybody used different proportional fonts, the pictures would
the same from place to place].

to Mircosoft works to open it up ( i change the font to courier) then i
try to copy and paste and put on Email and it gets all messed up,,is there

I really wanted to send everyone  a Email Card with a Ascii Santa Clause
