In a script file use the StartTextOverlay() command. (This command may have been StartOverlayText() in older versions). The syntax used to be something like this.

StartTextOverlay( "TheTextString", TextSize, Duration, FadeDuration, XPos, YPos )

TheTextString is a string in quotes with C style codes to cause line breaks. For example "Line One\rLineTwo"
TextSize is an integer
Duration is number
FadeDuration is a number
XPos is a number (from -1 to 1)
YPos is a number (from -1 to 1)

Example:

StartTextOverlay( "Line One\rLine Two", 36, 13, 3, 0, -.8 );

StartTextOverlay() underwent a major revision in 3.5 -- check out "Script Command Reference.txt" in your Scripts folder for its spec.
