Sorry. I suppose I should clarify. How do I print simple text to the screen while in text mode? Using GrDrawString() or GrTextXY() gives me an error stating "attempt to use graphics primitive in text mode" or something like that.

Is 'text mode' actually text mode or is it graphics mode? The user's manual isn't clear...
Thanks, Lance

It's text mode. If using a Win32 console, XTerm or Linux framebuffer, the screen mode is really graphics, but from a program's point of view that's a text mode anyway.

Use C stdio or C++ iostream as usual. The GRX text I/O functions are for graphics mode only.
