Try using scrollraster_ (see attached doc) to scroll an area of the window.
or use text_ rp,text$,length and change the text$ that you print.

Either way use VWait or WaitTOF_ to make the scrolling smooth

ScrollRaster_ gives you pixel control whereas Text_ will only give
character accuracy.

these two methods work best on workbench screens, if your using
a custom screen it's best to play with bitmaps and blit commands.
