    Hello!

    I have faced difficulties in promising start in AutoLISP programming.

    Which command I should use when defining coordinates (X Y) for the text?

    Thanks for all the help

    Are you *placing* text, or do you want to obtain the coordinates of the
    insertion point?

    Tapio,

    to insert a new text, you can use:
    (setq pt (getpoint "\nStratpoint: "))
    (command "_.text" pt "5" "" "my text")

    To get the coords of an existing text:
    (setq pt (cdr (assoc 10 (entget (car (entsel "\nSelect Text: "))))))
