set text font "arial"
set text size 20

Always a good idea to look in the help files too.

If you want to cheat in using the TEXT command for say spacing down the screen try this:

th=text height("2"):rem this finds the height of current font begin used.
for I = 1 to 20
text x,y+(I*th),"some text"
next I

this adds a little color

fader(100,100,"This is fading text",255,0,0)
fader(100,100,"Next sentence",0,255,0)
fader(150,150,"Another sentence",0,0,255)
fader(125,125,"And another",255,255,0)
text 0,0,"done"
wait key

function fader(x,y,value$,r,g,b)
   while r > 0 or g > 0 or b > 0
      ink rgb(r,g,b),0
      text x,y,value$
      dec r:if r < 0 then r = 0
      dec g:if g < 0 then g = 0
      dec b:if b < 0 then b = 0
      sleep 20
   endwhile
   ink rgb(255,255,255),0
endfunction
