Make a new layer. Put it below your text layer. Then bucket fill in the selection with a different shade.

My turn to talk:
          Don't know if this is available in earlier versions, but anyway:

          Alternate method - Select the layer, apply a 'stroke' effect from the Layer FX menu. Modify the settings to get the width and colour you want.

          I'll edit this post and add screenshots when I get my main laptop fixed and have access to photoshop again.
... OK, go.
