Instantiate GUI text

Question

Hey there, I was wondering if it was at all possible to Instantiate a GUI text just as you would a game object. Here is a JS of what works for a regular game object:

 var object : Transform;
 function OnTriggerEnter(hit : Collider){
 Instantiate(object, Vector3(3,5,7),Quaternion.identity);
 }

So, I'm kinda thinking it might be the same to perform an operation like this only with a GUI text instead of a regular 3D game object. If so, I'd really like to know how, but if not, I'd like to know that too. Thanks!

GUIText is a GameObject like almost all other. so you could do with it everything you could do with GameObjects. just remember that GUIText uses it's position by it's own rule to display 8)

Simply put, if it's turned off (unchecked to the left of the name), that makes it not show, but once the trigger object is touched, I'd like it to show. Is there a way to do that?

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    GetComponent<GUIText>().enabled = true;
}

Sorry, that didn't exactly work. Is it JavaScript? Where does it go? How does it apply to the GUI text?
