    Been using Visual Studio Code (VS Code) for the vast majority of
    all text editing lately. There's an option to set a column
    marker. I have one at 80 columns and another at 120 in my
    default profile.

    You may want to just use pablo, save without clear, then use
    ans2msg to convert that to the .asc format.

    It'll open perfectly fine in Pablo if you open it as a "Synchronet
    Ctrl-A" file.

    Man I feel so out of touch on everything.

    PabloDraw support saving directly to Synchronet Ctrl-A format (.msg or .asc). No conversion necessary: https://wiki.synchro.net/resource:ansi_editors#pablodraw

    Thank you for the tips! I'll dig more into it this weekend when I get a minute to dedicate to relearning this stuff!
