you don't have many choices :
1. use the command "CLS", it delete the screen (it become black, everything is deleted )
2. if you have a black background, draw a black box on the text ( you need to know the size and the texte's coordinates ).

There are two possibilies.
First you use cls(clearscreen) or second you write the same text on the same position with the background color.

Store your display as a series of arrays to you can just empty arrays?

Surely something could be implemented into DB?
DELETE TEXT perhaps?

Delete text(text code)

txt$="hello"
delete text(txt$)
could this not be put in?

you'd have to write a function to do that (but it seems pretty pointless to me...)

something like

do
cls
if text$<>0 then print text$
if deletekey()=1 then text$=""
loop

but, you'd have to be more specefic..
