Simple Box with Text?

Anonymous
Not applicable
Trying to hack together a simple box with 2 editable digits in it.
I'm sure it will be obvious from attached images that I haven't a clue, but I'm trying anyway.
I created it at project zero.
I've opened the gdl guide listed in the help menu of 14 and have searched through it, but if it's obvious what I should be trying, I'm still missing it.
So it would be nice if someone could at least point me to a relevant page/example, I'd much appreciate it.
The box does not need to rotate, just have easy edibility of just two digits.

Lec,

Is there a reason that you are trying to use RICH TEXT for such a simple object? It would be far easier for you to define a style and just use the TEXT2 command.

Wow, beyond perfect.
That's amazing!
Even has 45 chamfer control!
That is very generous of you Erich.
I'll pass a good deed on to someone in your honor.
Thank you
Take care.
Be safe out there.
