I was wondering how to implement text following into a program, I was wondering if you have something like

how you could make the screen follow the code down.

The print command gives you the least control. What I would do is create an array to hold your random numbers and then use the text command to display the array.

rem create a buffer 11 lines in size
dim textBuffer$(10)

do
a$ = str$(rnd(256))

rem scroll array up from bottom
for a = 0 to 9
textBuffer$(a) = textBuffer$(a+1)
next a

rem add new number
textBuffer$(10) = a$

cls

rem display array
for a = 0 to 10
text 10, 10+(a*12), textBuffer$(a)
next a

loop

you are making it too difficult:
why not just 'text' it then when it feels up the screen, cls and start from the top:

That displays a random page of numbers each loop - pure noise. I figure from the 'following' comments that Rocket Puppy wanted a scrolling display where the numbers run up the screen. I just used 11 lines in my example, it can be easily changed to scroll a whole page worth of random values, if needed.
