Christine Labno responded to my original query with the helpful information that she was able to record a macro that did what I need:

Specify the font size and deselect smoothing
Select text tool and specify the location and size of the text box

I was able to duplicate what she did.  I used the macro recorder and was able to create a macro to do this.  I may just go with this solution, but I am trying to do it in a plug-in rather than a macro.  When I tell the macro recorder that I am making a plug-in, the  recorder only generates commands to set the text tool.  It does not set the font or start the drawing box.

Does anyone know the appropriate plug-in commands?  

as a bonus it wold be nice to automatically pass a character string to the text box and apply.

thanks,
