I read about a "DrawText" function somewhere that refreshes an existing Text object to the backbuffer. If there is a current function for that lemme know thanks.

taken from the help file

Immediately draws the text to the backbuffer at its current position, size, and rotation. This is useful if you want to setup a scene for GetImage to capture. Remember to use ClearScreen to clear any of your own drawing before calling Sync or Render for the actual frame otherwise your drawing may appear twice in the final render.

I tried to call "DrawText()" function, and it appears to be listed in the command list, but when I try to run it, I get a "main.agc:403: error: "drawtext" is not a recognised function or command" error...what gives?

Does it matter if I'm using the AppGameKit classic trial version?
