[QUOTE="HermesSysOp, post: 1651747, member: 346494"] Hello cradom. Thanks for your response. You are in fact the first person to respond in all of the various places where I posted my message a few hours ago. First, it appears from your comment that you are on Ubuntu. I, in turn, am working in the Mac OSX terminal app under Yosemite. Thus, I am wondering if toilet functions exactly the same, or even uses the same commands and parameters. More specifically, you appear to be saying that I need to actually designate a file name and extension. However, in the man page for the version of toilet that I installed under Mac OS X, there is no mention of adding a file name to the command. Thus, I have tried both of the following examples, but without positive results: toilet --export ansi --font bigascii12 -F gay "THANKS" toilet --font bigascii12 -F gay "THANKS" --export ansi In other words, I get the correct on-screen -- or in-terminal, if you prefer -- output. However, I just don't know where it is being exported to, if it is being exported at all. I assume that it is, because the terminal is not throwing me any error messages. Any ideas? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
