Here's what I'm looking for: the ability to change a block from a horizontal to a vertical layout of text. This would be part of emacs super ASCII non-graphical powers, so that if I'm modelling a bar chart, I can convert it to a column chart: XXX XXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXX becomes: X X X X X X XXX XXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Any ideas?
