If we talk about v2 then

    Table.CreateTextField( name, segment, flags, Method )


-----------
If we talk about 1.x then in V4RB_Reference_1 page 27

For TEXT field you should specify Param1 as the size of the segment in bytes
specify Param2 as Language:

    boPerson.CreateField( ³Notes², kV_TypeText, 5 * 1024 )
    boPerson.CreateField( ³Notes², kV_TypeText, 5 * 1024, "German" )
