Not sure what you mean by "text at the top" but if you use the GoToXY() function, and then a printstring(), you can throw text wherever you want.
To get the outline and the final fantasyish look, you can draw multiple rectangles of whatever colour you want. www.vergesource.com has a few examples.
An alternative method would be to draw the window in Paint Shop Pro or a similar program (making sure the pallettes and filetypes are correct), and Copysrprite() ing the window picture instead of the rectfill().

Oh, that's easy now. In the tutorial, the box uses the rectfill() function.
RectFill(0, ScreenY-(ScreenY/4), ScreenX, ScreenY, 32/2+0); A line like this.
If you change the first y variable to 0 (zero) it will start being drawn at the top. Change the second to ScreenY/4 to have the box go a quarter way down.
RectFill(0, 0, ScreenX, ScreenY/4, 32/2+0);
That should be how it turns out, you then change the GoToXY() y coord's accordingly to center the text near the top.

There are too many textbox code out there for anyone to care about anyways! who cares? is someone going to look at their code and yours and say " I'll see him in court This is my code!" no, noone cares about something so small!

On line 18, there should be a closing bracket, ), but it finds a comma. You might be trying to put to many variables into a function.
