n> I have a whole lot of letters written in ASCII but how do i paste them
n> together? Do u have to use a special editor? If so what kind?

 No, it's just simple... There are two ways
 1) The 'easy' way:
        Just redraw the stuff side by side, you've an simple ascii-editor
        and a simple text...
 2) The 'Windoze' way
         Just cut and paste (I don't like this way)

n> eg I want to write NAM but how? I have these letters
n>  ______
n> Y   _  \Y
n> |   |   |
n> |   |   |
n> |   |   |
n> l___|   l
n> '   `---'
n>  _______
n> Y   _   Y
n> |   l   |
n> |   _   |
n> |   |   |
n> l___|   |
n>     `---'
n>  ___ ___
n> Y   Y   Y
n> |       |
n> |  \_/  |
n> |   |   |
n> l___|   l
n>     `---'
n> Now how will I stick them side by side?

 Just like this....
   ______          ___ ___
  |   _  \ _______|   Y   |
  |   I   Y   _   Y       |
  |   |   |   I   |  \_/  |
  |   |   |   _   |   |   |
  |___l   |   |   |   l___|
      `---l___|   l---'
              `---'
  Take an simple editor and redraw them (I added some minor changes too)

n> Also.. How do people make those cool ASCII drawings? Is there some
n> special program that they use? Is there some special editor? Can anyone
n> help me out here..

 Just every editor works great. I use Aurora, Boxer, Edit or the internal
 editor of Crosspoint (my mailer-software). What do you need more than a
 screen, a keyboard and an idea?
