DrawString equivalent?

[RCS]

Does anyone know of a way to quickly draw text on the screen without
creating an object? I am thinking of the old Macintosh ToolBox 'DrawString"
function (or 'textBox') that allowed you to just draw a text string anywhere
on the screen. I would like to use this for information 'on the fly', and
the circumstances would be different enough that there could not be an
existing object that I could use (i.e. a field, button, etc.)....

Thanks,
JR
