PRINT_HELP

This opcode creates a semi-transparent black box with light gray letters at the top left part of the screen. It is generally used to display instructions. It will display for a few seconds before fading away. Use 0512 for a permanent text box and 03E6 to immediately remove the text box. In San Andreas, 0989 can set the width of the text box. The default text color in the text box is gray, which uses the color code ~w~ in the GXT file. In Vice City and San Andreas, text boxes cannot be seen while widescreen borders (02A3) are on. In the German version, the font size is smaller than other versions.
