That might work.... Can someone tell me how to send a saved ascii picture in an e-mail message? I use Telix (outside of Windows) and I use the capute funtion to save it, then when I'm writing e-mail I try to use the "ASCII protocol" to upload it into my message area. Sometimes this works and other times in inverts the whole picture i.e. bottom-to-top instead of top-to-bottom. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
