  //The TextManager class is a collection of features specific for Hello 
  //User example.

  //- It includes solution for setting text position based on
  //  line/column. The original Robot.text(), or the more low level 
  //  print() function can only set text position on pixels from left,
  //  top. 
  //
  //- The process of accepting input with the virtual keyboard, saving
  //  into or reading from EEPROM is delt with here.
  //
  //- A workflow for stop the music while displaying image. Trouble
  //  will happen otherwise.
