If you're going to scroll A LOT..   then do _not_ use any system-stuff..
because system-stuff is generally very slow..  everything the system does,
you can do by your self, and do it faster...
that's the beauty of asm :)

question here..  are you going to scroll _in_ the string or _between_ the
strings?
if in..  the best thing is just to save your string in some position..  like

string .db "This is the string"

and then save a pointer into the string..  and when you want to scroll the
string, you just increment or decrement is pointer..
