Hello Robert!
On 01-Feb-02, you wrote:

'p ends the current paragraph (as any alignment command). 'newline
forces a "line wrap", exactly as if the text was too big to fit
the current line.

You have to give the position. However, you'll need multiple text
boxes only if you are going to do multiple columns etc.

You give it a size. :) (There's no way to know how much space the
text will use, however. So you'll have big problems trying to
guess where to break pages... Maybe I should implement that
asap...)

Yes, just ask me. :))
Feel free to send me any question you have etc.

Gabriele.
