Even better:

...
Disp "You pick up the","    gold pieces"
Output(4,1,G)
...

You have to be sure that there are at least two lines of
text already, but that shouldn't be a problem.

BTW, In your version Disp "" (without spaces) works too.
It'll only scroll, won't overwrite text you OUTPUTted, but
there shouldn't be any, anyway.
