I have a problem, I hope someone can help me.

	Well, I have created my first Ascii pic.. the problem is, that i made 
it in wordpad, and after a few lines, the text acted weird :/.. it's ok.. it 
still looks good... but when i try to open it in wordpad.. it is totallly 
messed up. I try to fix it.. but the detail i put in it, it is very difficult. 
is there anything i can do to fix this, so i can open it right in notepad?

Also, what editors do you'all use.. im trying to learn...

I never use Wordpad anymore. I tried once but Notepad is so much well
mannered for ascii wonderings. Maybe I should try Wordpad again and
postpone this post and type some more? Ok.
  Well, after a few weeks went by I tried Wordpad. So I copied and pasted
a picture into Wordpad from Notepad. Wordpad automatically used New TImes
Roman which is bad.
  So I Highlighted the picture and clicked on font. Then I chose Courier
New or New Courier whatever. And it looked fine! I hope this helps. You
probably figured it out long ago but still....I tried. Take care, Jon.
