T[ext]....is used to plot text strings on the screen. Enter a text string of up to 76 characters, then press <Return>, and the cursor should appear. The cursor marks the position of the base of the left-most character. When the cursor is correctly positioned, press one of the following keys:
'C' - plot this string and continue in text mode
'D' - ignore current string and continue in text mode
'M' - move last string to new position and continue
'P' - change to colour specified in text string (2-15)
'R' - replace last string with new text and continue
'S' - change to text size specified in text string (1-4)
'X' - ignore current string and exit from text mode
'U' - plot and underline current text string, and
continue.
Any other character will plot the string and exit from text mode.
TEXT can be used within USE files to perform non-interactive text displaying. In this mode, the USE file contains an extra line after the text to be plotted, containing the position and control character, eg.
UTEXT
1 (character size 1)
Line of text to be displayed
1000. 2000. U
The above sequence in a USE file is equivalent to using a TEXT command interactively, positioning the cursor at (1000.,2000.) and pressing the 'U' key. All coordinates are given in PHOTON Internal Coordinates (PICs).

[Text] is used to write a text string on the screen at a position you specify. Once this button has been pressed, the text sub-menu will appear. You can use the sub menu to write, replace, move, delete, underline, resize or colour the text.
If REPLAY is in CLEAR mode, [Exit] in the text sub-menu will cause the screen to redraw, otherwise PHOTON simply quits from the text menu and returns to the replay menu.

[Text No.] is the sequence number of the TEXT element in the stack. Typing in any valid number (the total number of TEXT elements) will pop up the corresponding TEXT element and make it become the current element.
Only the attributes of the current TEXT element can be modified.
