Jim,

Welcome to the world of TEXTOIDS. We're glad to have you. Read the defs of
all the text_* functions and also the string functions and you'll get it.
For example,

if lastbaronchart and
value1=0 {so you don't make a new TEXTOID on every bar}
 begin
     value1=text_new(d,t,c,"I'm a TEXTOID now"); {value1 becomes the text
object #}
end;
then you can move it every bar or change the text or whatever (if
lastbaronchart and value1>0...) text_setlocation...

Use the string functions to create your TTTFTTFTTF.

BTW,My fav use of text is to tell me the location of TLs every bar without
guessing. And speaking of TLs, the BEST news is once you are a TEXTOID, it's
easy to get in the Brotherhood of  LINOTYPEs, which is very, very useful
too.

Chris
