.TEXT INITIALIZE

This subroutine is called to initialize or reinitialize a text object.

Usage:

      PASS         <text_spec_name>           FIELD            SHARE? N
      GOSUB    0CD .TEXT INITIALIZE
      *        Check for error
      IF       0CD .TEXT INITIALIZE           NE

Description:

<text_spec_name> is a required parameter and the subroutine will cancel if it is not received. If the <text_spec_name> is blank, an error will be returned.

<text_spec_name> can be any name you want to assign to this text object. Once you have created the text object, you can change its attributes using other .TEXT routines, and then use the named object in any subroutine that accepts a text box parameter.

The newly initialized text object is set to be the "current" text object.
