Does WebTV give you the option of viewing news postings in a monospaced
font? That is, one that makes the following two lines the same length:
MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM
IIII IIII IIII IIII

In that case, you are able to view the ASCII Art in this newsgroup. I've
seen WebTV do monospaced fonts on the web so ASCII Art websites will be okay
too.

Now you just need somewhere that you can type text into, and the ability to
type characters to form shapes from. You can probably use your message
composition window (where you type newsgroup postings) to create ascii art,
if you are able to type characters such as /, \, -, ., and | :)

Assuming you are able to do this, take a look at the ASCIIArt Documents
Archive where you will find a couple of tutorials for getting started in
ASCII art, and some other stuff of interest:
