;) It's called ASCII Art. You see this stuff in those .nfo files for cracks and warez that shows a picture of like the warez groups logo or something. :huh:

What would happen if you were unfortunate to have a stammer and you tried to draw an ASCII picture?

Keikan! A macro is a small program containing a list of executable commands. In computing it originated in the old MSDOS. At one time you had to type in 26 different commands in order to get your computer to print 'sideways'. What you did then was write a .BAT file containing all those commands in the correct order. Name the file SIDEWAYS.BAT. Every time you typed sideways(plus the name of the file you wanted printed) at the command prompt the computer ran these commands and printed the file 'sideways.
