Getting re-started

Well, let's pretend that I ignore the odd 'Stien (R)  war going on and
want to get back into the group.  Now then, back in my day, I just did
all this stuff with pico, a text editor on my old UNIX shell.  Now,
alas, I'm back to a PPP account and am tired of wrestling with Notepad
to make a pic.  Does anyone know of an easier text editor to use for
creating ascii art?  As in, one that'll allow you free movement with
the cursor keys?  Thanks plenty.

Windows95: Notepad                                   (Comes with Windows!)
           EDIT.COM                                  (Comes with windows!)
           MicroEMACS
           EditPad
           PFE32
           UltraEdit                                   (www.ultraedit.com)
           TextPad                           (www.textpad.com - shareware)

Windows3:  Notepad                                   (Comes with Windows!)
           MicroEMACS
           PFE
           UltraEdit                                   (www.ultraedit.com)

TextPad (Win95/98) is my favourite - I use it for all of my asciis. It does
free cursor movement and block cutnpaste which is very very useful - and it
does insert/overwrite modes.

QEdit (use with insert off)
TheDraw - www.chips.navy.mil/oasys/graphics/files.html
ACiDDRAW - www.acid.org

     All of these will let you draw freehand without having to use the insert
mode (with insert mode on, the pic will constantly change while you draw, I
don't like that either).
