+**Syntax**:(text string)

+Display the given text on the screen. This function is mainly useful in tutorials.
+Text should be cleared by printing lots of spaces, or using the

+:ref:`textposition` function to select the part of the screen to display the text on.
+
+To wait for the user to read the text, you can use the :ref:`textsleep` function.
+
+Example::
+
+	(clearscreen)
+	(textposition 'center 'middle)
+	(text "Welcome into my animation")
+	(textsleep)
+	(display)
+
+**Available as**: menu item, command line option, command
