Hi Thomas.
I've attached a version of the program that does what I think you're after.
You really must try to step through your program one statement at a time and
you will see where your assumptions are not working.
The problems I noted were...
1) You had LEFT and RIGHT mixed up.
2) You were not clearing the "old" message before putting the new message
onto the screen.
3) The message could go outside the box.
also, I've added some more variables and renamed some to help readability.
If the variables are named better, you can more easily see some bugs. So
instead of "pos1" and "pos2", I've called them "rowpos" and "colpos".
Try not to have too many numbers scattered through out the program. Give
them names by using constants or variables. It will make changes much, much
easier.
Your comments about "staircase" is wrong. It doesn't matter which column you
write the IF/THEN/ENDIF/ words, just as long as each IF has a matching THEN
and ENDIF and you put the THEN before the ENDIF.

cheers,
