View Print can be used in graphics mode to avoid the text output 
overwriting graphics:
   Screen 12
   Dim As Integer R,Y,x,y1
   Dim As Single y2
   View Print 20 To 27
   Line (0,0)-(639,300),1,BF
   Line (100,50)-(540,200),0,BF
   Do
    r = (r + 1) And 15
    For y = 1 To 99
      y1 = ((1190 \ y + r) And 15)
      y2 = 6 / y
      For x = 100 To 540
      PSet (x, y + 100), CInt((319 - x) * y2) And 15 Xor y1 
     Next x,y
    If r=0 Then Color Int(Rnd*16): Print "blah"
   Loop Until Len(Inkey)
