Comments:               Although this is a layered graphic, it cannot be edited using the toolbar. It is for use within text mode editing only.

Example:

ZText(100, 100 { Lower left corner of text },

      "Hello World" { Text to display }, 

      15 { Text is white }, 

      0 { Use default font }); 

This places the string "Hello World" on the screen at (100, 100) with white text in the system font.
