Rob, thanks for your effort,... but this will only display text in a "vertical way",
and I would like the text to be displayed in a horizontal way

Anyway, this is what I've come up with:
Open in online IDE
Graphics 640,480,0,1
w_line$=("GREETINGS ADVENTURER, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ?")	
textlength=Len(w_line$)+1	
p=1
Repeat
	If MilliSecs() > wait + 100 Then 
		wait=MilliSecs()
		setchar$ = Mid$(w_line$,p,1)
 		Locate q,10 
		Write setchar$
 		p=p+1
 		q=q+8
	EndIf
Until p>textlength


I admit it's a bit crude, and it only works with the standard blitz font at the moment.

And Sinu's idea is very good! :D
I'll put that one in, too

Thanks
