Mailarchives (A89: sprites)

I really need help with this. I need to make sprites move on the screen smoothly. When I add a # to it it's too slow. I need to know how to do this. I would really appreciate any help any one could give me. Like in Zelda89, Link moves smoothly across the screen but, when you add 5 to the variable it skips. I think I need to use the graph buffer. That's just what I've been told. I could really use your help. and agian thank you for any help you can give me.
