	This is because of blitter.  The problem becomes greater if
you have a Amiga 500 with no true fast ram.  If this describes your
situation, go into the Option menu, select Terminal, and choose
a smaller number of colors for your screen.  The flicker is very
annoying if you have a 16 color screen, so try using 8 or even 4.  
	The blitter can only work with 1 bitplane at a time, hence the
text seems to change color as it scrolls.
