Welcom Caitlin!

Read the FAQ and materials...
then when you want to start making the pics,
read the tutorials and give it a try...
I link to several tutorials at:
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/howto.htm

Actually, I think it is better to try to make
the ASCII art first and then read the tutorials.
You may understand the explanations a
bit better.
