Probably the easiest thing to do is to figure out the location of the box,
and issue a _DrawString.  By "figuring out" I mean taking a guess at the
location, and adjusting until it looks right. You don't want to rely on the
width of the character, as the character fonts may not be monospaced.

As a first guess - 44 columns by, say 6 pixels for a character, is 264, while
5 lines by about 11 pixels is 55. Try moving to (55,264).
