The 85 didn't have a built in "small font" like the 82 did.  However,
the 86 does.  It's TEXT(x,y,$text) in the GRAPH / DRAW menu.  Check your
docs..  It would be cool to have a "text file" viewer though written in
ASM if thats what you're looking for more specifically.   Then I could
type up some stuff on my computer, load it in as a string and scroll
through it on the calc.
