You got a line of zero's because you used "TIC=" instead of "TIC:=".
PRINT is printing to the terminal with each PRINT being on a different line, so if you want to print to a particular location on the screen you should use TEXTOUT_P instead of PRINT:

Code:

EXPORT TEST()
BEGIN
  LOCAL TIC;
  RECT();

  REPEAT 
    TIC:=TICKS()/1000;
    TEXTOUT_P(STRING(TIC),0,0,0,0,100,#FFFFFF);
  UNTIL GETKEY>-1;

END;
