Thank for the reply commando. I think you know the answer but my question was a little unclear. The code you gave me does scroll but not the way I was wanting. So i'll explain clearer. I need to be able to scroll like you would if you were typing in msdos. Meaning that when I reach the last line of the window another line appears; the text just doesn't disappear into the bottom of the screen where you cant see it. I need to be able to type continous text. The scroll function you gave me just make text scroll on the screen not when i reach the last line of the window. What I need is when I reach the last line a new line appears and doesn't just disappear into the bottom of the screen...Any suggestions??? I put my code with this post....HELP~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a training program im making for SABRE; A airline booking system....

You could just put a CLS in there somewhere, like line 27 or something. Its not too pretty, but it gets the job done. Otherwise I dunno.

make each line a string, and when you get to the bottom of the screen, take the first string off of the screen, and move everything up one line. try adding 1 to a real value for every new string and when it gets to 30 then subtract one and do the above
sorry if it's not very clear but i'm not too sure myself. if you get it to work then tell me how you did it.
