I have this problem in DarkBasic: Numbers showing on screen don't erase previous numbers and they come on top of each other. So it goes a unreadable mess. How to erase this problem?

not sure what you mean..
but once u dealing with 3d object, u have to put SYNC in your loop
but if its only text, no sprites, u can use CLS command instead.

do
cls
a = a+1
text 0,0,"My A: "+str$(a)
Sleep(100)
loop

more 3d models .x/.obj and more foramts here:

try cls at the start of every program loop. that will clear the old text and rewrite the fresh text.

Sometimes I like to use words out of contents

Scraggle: Your advice worked. Thanks for your advice. I will put more code soon when I program more.

That CLS command makes screen only flicker. No good.

Screen flicker? I think that's caused by not taking control of the sync. You do this by putting SYNC ON at the beginning of your code. Setting text to opaque is just a band-aid. If the string printed becomes smaller than what was printed last loop, the edge of the text would be visible past the end of the current string.

Definitely try using sync on, and putting sync at the end of each loop.

Good luck.
