About the first two elements in the array...

The first element (0) holds the size required for each character in the array -- in your case, that would be 58. The second element (1) holds the number of pixels for the spaces between words, CHR$(32) or SPACE. These are both required by the PrintSTRING sub program in order to properly determine the index of the character being printed and the spaces between words. In your case, I'd say array element 1 should be about 5. After you get to printing, if the words seem too spread out, reduce this value; if they're too "crowded", increase it.
