Help with making graphics in AOL chat?

I don't know if this is the right place to ask about this, but I
figured I'd give it a shot.

Lately, I've seen everyone showing up in the AOL chat rooms with
pictures that are of flags.  Basicly, it's a solid red bar, a white
bar with "God Bless America" inside of it, then a solid blue bar
underneath.  I used to be able to do things like that a LONG time ago
in BBS message boards using ANSI, but I'm having a tough time getting
it done on AOL.  I tried making it in an E-Mail and pasting it, but it
says it's over the 232 character limit that can be typed on one chat
line.  Is there a special program I should be looking for to design
these?

Thanks for your help everyone...even to a po' cousin such as myself
from AOL. ;)

Hmm.. that would make it a Dutch flag, except for the text of course.

You could search for "AOL macro art".  I found some links with Google
that looked promising.

It could also have been a Yugoslavian falg or a Luxemburg flag. Personally, i
like to think it's a Dutch flag for obvious reasons :-)
