scrolling

[ysft12]

I am using freeBasic for DOS. I have a problem about freeBasic scrolling down for some reason. I would like to know how to print on the last line so that the text on the first line is still visible. I have tried using locate and other ways, but it still doesn't work. Please help!

Try adding a ; to the end of the print line, as such:

Code:

Print "my string"+somestr$;

There's a user on the Network54 "QBasic Forum" called "mennonite". He's a DOS advocate, so he probably uses the DOS version. In fact, he likes a lot of things that are old. . . HTML 3.0 (he hates how presentation has been separated from content with HTML 4.x and CSS), uses Task Manager under Windows 9x (I think Win98 to be precise) rather than Explorer for a Windows 3.1 environment (no clue where he got that from), <I shouldn't continue because he'll destroy me in the chatroom on that site.>

We do, but don't tell anyone. We're trying to become like.. a cult.. working in silent, behind the scenes, influensing decisions to be made everywhere..
