Well, I usually use the editor that my comunications program has built in.
but you can use any others. The way I normally start a project is to put
blank lines however long i want my art to be. and then puting my curser
into overwrite mode instead of insert for the actual drawing (keeps me
from having to 'realign' things).

Well, good luck
