well, it has three scripts, "ask()" using both so I will post all three.
To Mit "it didn't work, it jus wouldn't load the game..."

// ----------------
// Argument0 = x location of text
// Argument1 = y location of text
// Argument2 = text to draw
// Argument3 = Space between characters
// Argument4 = The width of the text in pixels, when limit is reached the
// rest will be drawn at a new line.
// Argument5 = sprite to use (Use as in GM5 sprites with subimages
// which are correctly alligned with the ASCII order, to
// check this goto Start>Run and type charmap)
// Argument6 = At what character the sprite begins with. (For example
// if the first character on the font sprite is an A (capital)
// then you should set "A" to this. The rest of the characters
// need to keep on the correct ASCII order.
