set TextOutHandler = XUScriptPlugin.AddTextOutHandler("MyTextHandler") 'Assign the

handler a name. It must be unique for each handler

'Optionally: TextOutHandler.str = "Hello World"
'Optionally: TextOutHandler.x = 30
'Optionally: TextOutHandler.y = 30
Sleep 10000 'Show it on the screen for 10 seconds
XUScriptPlugin.RemoveTextOutHandler "MyTextHandler" 'Remember to free up memory
