    I was hoping not. I was going to use the translate values like this:

object {
                MyObject
                texture{TextTetxure}
                translate 0.2
                translate < X_value,Z_value,0 >
//                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
/* the built in value places the bottom of the text at the bottom corner of
the screen. If I could build a prism with these values then the prism would
stay in place even if I changed the camera_right and camera_up or the
camera_angle */

no_shadow translate z scale 0.001
        matrix  <
                  autotext_x.x,autotext_x.y,autotext_x.z,
                  autotext_y.x,autotext_y.y,autotext_y.z,
                  autotext_z.x,autotext_z.y,autotext_z.z,
                  autotext_t.x,autotext_t.y,autotext_t.z
                >
        }/// end object
