you need to have it just 'cls' before printing the new line.

For the console, I'd have an array of strings, one for each line. You store the values of what was typed in the array, and you scroll through the array. I think DBP supports queues, which will let you do this easily.

As for your second question, you could use mid$ to step through your string, and find the first instance of the space character " ", and then process what comes after that.
