How to make it so that text appears on screen?

I wan't to make text appear on screen for tutorial info, and for objective info. I wan't to make this there so that other people don't have to talk the tutorial stuff to make the game more lifelike.

Thanks:D

You can use a Message Entity or a Pawn Conversation, look under Message and Pawn Conversation in the manual that comes with Reality Factory for more information.

ok, so supposing I set the message type to one of them in menu.ini: Static, than I used a message in message.txt: forbidden area, than what would be the trigger? I think this has something to do with spawn but I want it so that after a sound plays when I have the player spawn, than is says: "use w,s,a,d to move". Than I would have other messages teach the player as he walks to certain points. Sorry if it seems like I'm bugging you... :D
