wondering if there was any thought of adding text to the draw object or other objects such as a callout?

Could you elaborate on what you are trying to do?
If you need to add text to a certain location, set the drawmode to point. When the user clicks a point, pop up a textbox where they can enter the text they want. On completion create a graphic with the selected point, and set the symbol to a TextMarkerSymbol with the entered text.

Thanks for the reply on the text.  On the callout...it would be nice to be able to place a callout text box as mark up by interactively determining the start and end points.  A workaround would be adding a text box and then a line to indicate where to point the text but it would be a lot cleaner if you could have an interactive callout object.
