REBOL looks great fordoing the modern programming stuff, but can it do basic Text Art stuff like the old languages based on BASIC could.

Text Art in BASIC? I don't recall any Text Art routines in BASIC... What exactly are you looking for? Sounds like it might be a cool option :)

Perhaps the TUI dialect would help. Take a look at this section of my tutorial:

And the resulting Textris program:

You can have it begin printing at any coordinate on screen, then feed it instructions for any drawing routines you want.
