If you are using the Text() command and trying to display to the graph screen,
you'd have to know how to find out the length of the string IN PIXELS.  Lngth
returns the length of the string in characters.  I don't think there's a way
to do
what you want with 100% accuracy unless "STRING" always has the same
contents.
