You can get sprites to appear behind or in front of text - however, if you want to put text actually in a sprite, your best bet would be to create a bitmap, put the image in that, followed by the text, get the image and then use that as the sprite.

I have not tried this, but,
could you paste the image to a bitmap
print your text on the bitmap
and then make a memblock from the bitmap
and lastly remake the image from the memblock.

That was alittle more involved the my mind was thinking at first thought. I was thinking about combining two images useing memblocks and saveing the new image, which is fairly simple and alot faster then get image is. But you can't send text to a memblock, so there may not be much of a speed advantage.
