put:
SET CURSOR 0,0
before
PRINT screen fps()

or use:
TEXT 0,0,str$(screen fps())
instead of
PRINT screen fps()

The reason is that the print command moves the next print position down one line each time it is used, and when it gets to the bottom, it scrolls the display up one line so that it can print the next line.

Flash's advice is the way around this problem

screen fps() returns an iteger representing the number of frames per second
str$(value) converts vaiue into a string
text x,y,string prints string on the screen at position x,y

For more details look in the help.

you would neeed to activate a timer to grab the fps then display so the actual fps checing isnt in the dragging down of fps checks

add a timer to grab the fps check once every second then display it a second later.
