you can ether use cls to clear the screen and start from the top, or use locate(row,column) to locate output to a specific point.

Yeah, like this:

var answer:string:=""
for i:1..2
locate(1,1)
if i=1 then
put "What color is the sky: "..
get answer
elsif i=2 then
put "Why do clouds rain: "..
get answer
end if
end for

The locate commands is really easy and useful for this. Or as tony says, cls works too. or if you want, you could combine them, to cls, and locate the text,  :wink:
