AutoLisp--need GRTEXT command help

Anybody know how to write something to the Status Bar or Menu Bar?
I have wrote a little AutoLisp routine that changes the scale of my drawing
and I want to be able to write the scale to either the Status Bar or Menu Bar when I change the scale, in order to visually see which scale the drawing is set to.
I have tried this command ( for example when the scale is changed to 1/4" to 12" ) :
( grtext -1 "1/4 to 12" )
which works, the text is displayed in the Status Bar, but when I proceed to use another command, such as Line, the text disappears. Anyone know how to display a message to the AutoCad Menu Bar or Status Bar ?
Thanks Jarvis
