The easiest way is the old fashioned way.  I found that cedt (the editor that
comes with The Clarion Professional Developer) allows you to draw ascii chars
very much like the old pro-write let you (Boy, havn't used that is years)  You
could always use an ansi editor that outputs code such as TheDraw.
