 		can someone answer this question how do I smoothly animate text in turing so when I hold down the up and down key I made it so that you can make it move with a a trail being left behind and when I use a cls command if I hold it you cannot see the ship I am using "<!*!>" as my ship this is what I have right now 
const ship := "<!*!>"
var rows : int
var columns : int
var chars : array char of boolean
rows := 1
columns := 1
loop
    locate (rows, columns)
    put ship
    Input.KeyDown (chars)
    if chars (KEY_UP_ARROW) then 
        cls
        rows := rows - 1
        delay (80)
    end if
    if chars (KEY_DOWN_ARROW) then
        cls 
        rows := rows + 1
        delay (80)
    end if
    if rows < 1 then
        rows := 1
    end if
    if rows = 26 then
        rows := 25
    end if
    rows := rows + 0
end loop
also when it gets past the 25 row it just starts making an endless trail of ships why is this?

 		Please clarify the language. I know its not C++ or BB.

 		Ah, thought that was a technique.
