Listen Muddy, this is not first time that you've come here seeking advice with a cryptic and ambiguous post. People have been very patient and even asked you to be more explicit with your questions. I highly advise you to re-write your original post and include which GUI library you are using and any other pertinent info. My guess is that you are using Tkinter. If so, i believe the canvas has a method called "create_text" which will do what you want. To make the input easier to code, use a Tkinter Entry widget stuffed into a dialog -- tkSimpleDialog makes this, well, simple.
