How are you supposed to use the figlet things you make? Is there a 'save to
file' command or something?

Well, in unix you can do something like this...
echo "Test" | figlet -f banner3-D > argh
will put Test in the banner3-D font and output it to the file argh

Is there a 'save to >: file' command or something? This is one trick that I sometime use in vi (or vim). You can filter lines through other commands with the ! command. For example, say I have this typed on a line: Warning! If I use the ! command in vi with the cursor on this line: !figlet -c Then this is the result: __ __ _ _ \ \ / /_ _ _ __ _ __ (_)_ __ __ _| | \ \ /\ / / _` | '__| '_ \| | '_ \ / _` | | \ V V / (_| | | | | | | | | | | (_| |_| \_/\_/ \__,_|_| |_| |_|_|_| |_|\__, (_) |___/ Cheers Tony ______ , _ (_) | /|/ \ | __ _ _ | | __, _ _ _ _|_ _ |/ \_/ |/ | | | | | | | / | |/ / |/ | | (_/ \__/ | |_/ \_/|/ | |_/ \_/|_/\_/|/|__/ | |_/|_/ /| /| T.N...@sct.gu.edu.au\| Griffith University\|Brisbane Australia ' ' -=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=-=*#*=- Cheers Tony ______ , _ (_) | /|/ \ | __ _ _ | | __, _ _ _ _|_ _ |/ \_/ |/ | | | | | | | / | |/ / |/ | | (_/ \__/ | |_/ \_/|/ | |_/ \_/|_/\_/|/|__/ | |_/|_/ /| /| T.N...@sct.gu.edu.au\| Griffith University\|Brisbane Australia ' '

Yes, it's very simple. type: figlet -f [fontname] > [filename]
for example: figlet -f invita > sig.txt
Then upload the program into your account and use it.

Nothing that fancy. Simply redirect the output using the dos '>' function.
I.E. -- 'figlet -f small.flf > output.txt'. You _won't_ see the output but
type away anyway. When you are done with the stuff you want to figlet, simply
type Ctrl-Z. Hope this helps.
