Scratch

I would love to see a "Print" command.  But then, I think I would want to be able to control the print size, location, and font as well - it could get kind of complicated.

Maybe it's a block that only sprites can use (it could be in the Pen section) and we would use the sprite position and size to control the text properties such as location, angle and size.   We could use the pen color and size to control the line color and width.  Sounds good to me 

Paddle2See - Hmm Yes. And how about the font?

But "print" always mades me think of actually printing stuff on paper. I'm sure new Scratchers will be quite confused. How about "Stamp text []".

The is a pen block, so we could just add the Font in a different variable. "Set font to []". Not every PC has the same fonts installed so it might be a better idea to only use the standard "Helvetica bold" (?) font.

And What if you write text on the same position twice? For a score display for example? Some languages draw a white rectangle below the text, but I don't like that...

My Linux PC doesn't appear to have Helvetica bold... I think the command should use the same font Scratch uses for the "say"-block.
