And as universally accepted as anything ever made.

This is pushing off-topic even on CCTALK but it does apply to
documentation etc acceptable to non-GUI machines -- does anyone
know of a "graphical" (eg. curses) drawing program that outputs
ASCII, for
.+n[u,i]x?

I can imagine, keys pressed for turtle graphics (pen down/up,
north/south/east/west drag the pen, etc) drawing rectangles.
Shortcut commands for common drawing problems (a
"spreadsheet-like" table labelled with columns A - Z and rows 1 -
10, that sort of thing).

Never saw such a thing, and I've actively looked.
