Is there a command that checks if there is any text on the screen?

Super Cool

you'll need to set a variable when you use the text or print command. than you can read from that varialble to check if there is any text on screen or even how many lines

When you write text to screen it is drawn onto the screen bitmap (bitmap 0).
Using string variables (or arrays) is a good way of keeping track of your text; You can get data like the length or height of the string which helps for positioning.
