So a fair amount of stuff. No circle command. It depends on what you want to do. Unless you want to code up your logo with primitives, you probably want to convert your bitmap. In which case Steve is right, I think Ken's ASCIIpixels allows you to embed bitmaps in strings, probably the way to go. So it's just a matter of converting your bitmap. Maybe attach your bitmap and someone will convert it if you don't want all the fun. -- John.
