I use MTEXT for everything, but we have little 1 or 2 button key-ins for everything, too.
TIP:
Use MTEXTED to prefix your wordpad text editor with :lisped# as in:
:lisped#C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe
If the mtext entity has less than 32 characters it will pop up in a dialog box editor just like single line text, more than 32 will pop to the editor.
