Well, I think the reason it is saying 'Yep' a million times is that that 
is what the program does. If you make it so the text is always printed in 
the same place, you will only see one 'Yep'. If you want the text to be 
in a random position, as it is at the moment, but only one 'Yep', you can 
use a flag, i.e.


showing_yep = FALSE;

do
{
	if(((mouse_x >= min_x) && (mouse_x <= max_x))
	&& ((mouse_y >= min_y ) && (mouse_y <= max_y)))
	{
		if ( (mouse_b & 1) && (!showing_yep) )
              {
			showing_yep = TRUE;
			show_mouse(NULL);
 			textout(screen,font,"Yep",
			 random() % 800,random() %  600,RGB(0,255,0));
			show_mouse(screen);
		}
	}
} while (!keypressed());
