Whoops. Accidently sent a unfinished email. Heres the finished.
I'm a nobody in asm programming but I can help you.
Heres a sample of how to do that.

To Put Text In Normal Size:
#include "ti86asm.inc"
.org _asm_exec_ram
    ld a,0          ; Loads 0 into the 8 bit "a" register
    ld (_curRow),a  ; Loads 0 that was in "a" to the cursor row
    ld (_curCol),a  ; Load the same into the cursor column
    ld hl,text      ; Loads 16 bit "hl" register with the "text"
    call _puts      ; Put String in "hl" at cursor position and 
                    ; advances the cursor
    ret             ; Return from program so it doesn't crash
text:               ; Label under which we load into "hl"
.db "Hello World",0 ; Defines the byte in which string is stored
