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).
