ok. well pretty much just run a for loop from 0 to the end of the screen, being maxx..
code:
View.Set ("offscreenonly")
var font : int := Font.New ("Arial:30")
for i : 0 .. maxx
    Font.Draw ("Hello", i, maxx div 2, font, black)
    View.Update
    cls
end for

to scroll the text, you can take a picture of the screen (0,0,maxx,maxy) and move it up one line. Problem is, it will scroll only 1 way.

I want to make the text scroll across the screen letter by letter, for example when your declare the line as a constant and then sub it in latter in the program. What i need to be able to do is make it with fon.draw so i can make the cool matrix text.

just what Mephi posted... using Font.Draw to scroll letter by letter... You can ether do it horizontaly, or vertically... just depends which value you substitute with a loop counter.

i dunno what you really want. but this may help you... you're gonna have to modify it a bit for what you want but its just scrolls one letter a time from top to bottom... i'm not doing the whole damn project for you because as most of you will agree... thats really stupid of you to ask lol

code:
View.Set ("offscreenonly")
var font : int := Font.New ("Arial:20")
var x : int

procedure scroll (word : string (30),del:int)
    for i : 1 .. length (word)
        x := Rand.Int (0, maxx)
        for decreasing k : maxy .. 0
            Font.Draw (word (i), x, k, font, black)
            View.Update
            delay (del)
            cls
        end for
    end for
end scroll

scroll ("hello",3)
