How do I make text invisible then visible later?
(I figured out my first question which was the subject...)

Graphics 800, 600, 0, 2
SetBuffer BackBuffer()

Repeat
  Cls
  Text 0, 0, "wait for text 2.."
  If x > 100 Then Text 0, 20, "text 2!!"
  x = x + 1
  Flip
Until KeyHit(1)

End

I use thess twp ways to show/hide Text.

Graphics 640,480,0,2
SetBuffer BackBuffer()


;any strings
Global str_text$="Important message"
Global str_text2$="Press Key Esc to Exit."
Global str_info$ ; invisible text

;any variables
Global show_info=0 ;enable(1)/disable(0) str_text2$


Repeat
Cls

	If KeyDown(57) Then ;Key_Space
		str_info$=str_text$ ;Fill empty string to show/visible it
	Else
		str_info$="" ;clear text to "hide", make it invisible
	EndIf


;Display Text
Text 0, 0,str_info$	;empty string until key space was pressed


;str_text2$ will be visible until the variable "show_info"
;was enabled by a key_return/enter keyhit.
If KeyHit(28) Or another_event Then show_info=1
If show_info=1 Then Text 0,20,str_text2$


Flip
Until KeyHit(1)	;key_Esc
End

This is easier...

Graphics 400, 300, 32, 2
SetBuffer BackBuffer()

While Not KeyHit(1)
    If KeyHit(57) Key = Not Key
    If Key Text 150, 150, "HI BRAZIL!"
	Flip
    Cls
