Whoops. Accidently sent a unfinished email. Heres the finished.
I keep sending messages. (Dumb Hotmail!)
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" ; Include our list of ram & rom calls
.org _asm_exec_ram  ; Ram adress at which program stars
    ld a,#          ; Loads # into the 8 bit "a" register
    ld (_curRow),a  ; Loads # that was in "a" to the cursor row
    ld a,#          ; Loads # into the 8 bit "a" register
    ld (_curCol),a  ; Loads # that was in "a" to the cursor column
    ld hl,GH        ; Loads 16 bit "hl" register with the text in "GH"
    call _puts      ; Put String in "hl" at cursor position and 
                    ; advances the cursor
    ret             ; Return from program so it doesn't crash
GH:                 ; Label under which we load into "hl"
.db "Hello World",0 ; Defines the byte in which string is stored
.end                ; Define end of program 
 
To put the text in small size replace:
(_curRow) with (_penRow)
(_curCol) with (_penCol)
_puts with _vputs
Note: This uses pixel #s unlike above with 8 rows and 21 columns

Check Out BlitZ NT! It Rocks and It will be here soon!
I'd release it tommorow but my brother messed with my work :(
It may be out next Saturday Better then ever.

Check Zone TI for alphas! ; Probably Sunday Night
