  Dude,
    Hey,yer sig looks cool.Anyway,here arer some features that i 
would like to see.
Basic must haves:
O>a block cut and paste like "Textpad"
O>multiple open files
O>able to open "large files"
O>easy keystrokes for undo and redo
O>unconstrained cursor movement
O>ability to change default file extension
O>Dude,just look at "Textpad" and see all the 
  cut and paste functions and and all the cool
  stuff and features in that program,Its the
  best damn thing for ascii art,and I for one
  love the crap out of it.

Here are some _cool_ features to add if you want me to
be impressed:

O>a pop up figlet box.
O>a mode for transparent spaces in block pastes.
O>ability to use a grapic for the background,like a wall paper.
O>mode to copy text to clipboard with <PRE></PRE> added and have
  the proper conversions added for charecters like "&","<","/" and
  such.
O>feature that would allow asciiflip functions to be applied to 
  selected text in block select mode.
O>feature that allows the user to make textures like this;

,-.(_),-.
`-'(_)`-'
and save them in a library,and then later the user could
usea a keystroke combo or select from a menu a special select
mode that would tile the texture over the selection without
overwriting that ever was allready there like this;

selected area;
,--------------------------.
|                          |
|                          |
|       #########          | 
|       ##STUFF##          |
|       #########          |
|                          |
`--------------------------'
apply tile to it;
,--------------------------.
|,-.(_),-.,-.(_),-.,-.(_),-|
|`-'(_)`-'`-'(_)`-'`-'(_)`-|
|,-.(_),#########-.,-.(_),-| 
|`-'(_)`##STUFF##-'`-'(_)`-|
|,-.(_),#########-.,-.(_),-|
|`-'(_)`-'`-'(_)`-'`-'(_)`-|
`--------------------------'

O>and i suppose it would be nice to be able to make color
  ascii and save it in html/css format.

I would be happy to beta test your software and give feedack.
contact me if you want more ideas,Im sure i can think of many
other things that would be really fucking cool.
