There is place-text to do this. That has been available since Coot
0.0.
I can't find anything about "place-text", neither in Coot itself, nor in
any of its documentations on the Coot web site - where is it described?
Ah, the old "Coot scripting documentation is cr^^poor" thread, eh? :)
http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~emsley/coot/doc/doxygen/html/c-interface_8h.html
(it's called "place_text" there of course).

If text is attached to a position in space there is no issue of
transferring annotations and you can use place-text. Attached is a
simple piece of code to do that where I add a gui wrapper to
place-text so that you can make a 3D annotation, and save and load
those annotations.

Thanks, would like to try it. But how do call it? I've saved the code as
"test.scm" and opened it with Calculate -> Run Script -> test.scm, but
nothing happens?
Yes, you can do that, or:
$ coot --script test.scm
Annotation menu items should have added themselves to the Extension menu.
Paul.
