Hmm... this used to work in old dos:
cls > clear.txt
type clear.txt
This would clear the screen. Now you just get an ascii representation of the clear
code.
Does this mean than that you cannot clear the screen in Win32 just by printing an
ascii sequence?
Or perhaps we need
device=c:\winnt\system32\ansi.sys
Somewhere? In config.sys?
================
Hey Michael,
print $clear; on my system gives an ascii 012 on my screen and does
not clear it (I am $^O=MSWin32).
