I was wondering how the say_stop_xy command works. I tried using it like this: say_stop_xy("`7Hey",226,176);
but it doesn't work.

I wonder if there isn't a bug with say_stop_xy... I believe that Someone previously told that the Y coord is always -300 than the value you typed... Try with some other coords... Or maybe type spaces between the different values:
say_stop_xy("`7Hey", 226, 176);
:)

I still can't get it to work. Is there any other command for setting text position?

Yes, there's say_xy("text", x, y);
Anyway, try to find any DMod using say_stop_xy(...) and see how it's used.
I don't have my comp now, so I can't try in my sample DMod.
I think that The Valley of the Talking Trees uses say_stop_xy(...) a lot (when the author is talking to Dink), and the source is available :)
