Make a black picture (or whatever you want your background to look like) using paint for instance and add text to it. (don't forget, it has to be 640x480)
Then import it into the Picture Folder of RMXP.
Then make a blank intro map and create an autostart event with the Show Picture command.
You can add a move picture command to make the text scroll off the screen.
If one picture isn't enough you can make a second one appear by adding another Show Picture command.
Set the character set of your actor to none so that he's invisible when you see the intro.
I hope you can understand this since you are new to the program, if you don't I can try to make a demo for you.

Thanks! xD
On the same event as before add a wait command after your Show Picture command so you won't teleport until the intro is over, then add a Transfer Player command (2nd page of the event commands) to the map you want him to pop up.
To make your character invisible go to the database (F9) go to the actors tab and double-click the Character Graphic box and set it to None.
To make him visible again you can use the Change Actor Graphic command on the 3rd page of the event commands.

One thing to keep in mind, before you teleport, you set an erase event. If you dont do this, the picture will stay there forever
The number in upperleft on the erase and show picture command, is the image layer. 1 is the lowest, 8 is the highest. Just like mapping layers

Also, to the OP: We are telling you how basic, simple event commands work. You might want to consider reading the manual, playing with the options, or even right-clicking the various controls, which tells you what they do.

On the first page you must not check the self switch box but you have to add an event command: Control Selfswitch and then choose selfswitch A.
Also, you have to add wait commands between the Show picture and Erase picture.
And again, this is basic stuff you really should read the help file.
