I'm not sure if you mean the "Help String" in the level properties, but you can press F2 to edit the text.

Are you talking about the text stings in JCS under the properties window for a level, or the help file which Violet mentioned?

I believe it's the text strings that go under the Level Proporties. Took me a while to figure out the first time, but when you want to edit a text string, you have to click the one you wish to edit once so it turns blue, then again to be able to edit it. In other words, it takes two clicks total, not one.

Something annoying about the text string field is that there is a limit on how fast you can double-click. You have to click, wait a fraction of a second, then click again. Normal double-clicking (like the type you would use for icons) simply doesn't work. That's why I always triple-click in quick succession and it always work out better.

yay, it worked. thanks guys, one more thing, how do you get bosses to work, the music changes, but the bot sits there and does nothing and the boss health bar dont show up till I killed it

The robot boss is a unique case and requires the event Devan (Robot Boss) to be within 31 tiles of the Activate Boss event in order to function properly. The other bosses aren't so picky and require nothing but activate boss, and sometimes not even that.
