The TIN newsreader has no such inhibitions...although it linewraps 
at 76 column righthand margin so ascii pics have to be kept within 
that limit when posting but strangely, TIN newsreader receives 
postings without line-wrapping. Must be the way my ISP has 
configured TIN.

Enough of that...

Now...here is all of that Kangaroo song complete with a music 
addendum originally in QBASIC but re-written for QBASIC:

  An old Australian stockman was lying, dying.

     So he gets himself up on the one elbow,

        and he turns to his mates gathered round him,

             and he says:
