Subject: Placing boxes anywhere on the page

Is there a way to place a box at some specified x and y position on the
page, and then typeset one or more paragraphs of text into the box? I guess
I'm thinking of something like LaTeX's minipage, but with the ability to
specify absolute coordinates, rather than just position relative to the
current baseline.
Thank you,
-pd
