I write:

text_row() is for lines 1 to 50, not 0 to 49.

Try this and it works:
----------------------------------------------------------
include graphics.e
include get.e   -- wait_key()

integer r
r = text_rows( 50 )
position( 50, 1 )

puts(1,"Hello!")-- place this in 50th row...
r = wait_key()  -- wait here to watch the 50-row-screen!
----------------------------------------------------------

Have a nice day, Rolf
