As suggested by Dr. Nybble in alt.64 (title: "Questions About an Idea").
I whipped up this limited featured figlet like program (ok, I've never
seen figlet, but this should be a start.)

The program contains 85 commodore graphics character figures from
CHR$(32) to Lower Case Z and Upper Case A-Z.  It is all in BASIC which
may be of interest to beginner programmers.

Run the program (it will display the characters as it reads the DATA
statements, then clear the screen), type the characters you want to see,
return gives you a new line (four spaces down, which is the max height
of the characters) , if the character isn't in the data the program will
just print what you typed (good for color changes, etc.)

There are no editing provisions, options to make seq or BBS C/G files or
'save as program' options, I think in the future I will integrate it
into my C/G editor which has those features, but this was more a
mini-commodore vacation for me (I love to play with those Commodore
graphic symbols).

Hope you like it.
