Using Bash shell 1.14.7(1) "clear" works ok from the command line. Does not clear the screen when issued from the script. Displays 1 instead Have tried these "syntaxes" (if that's a word) my $x = `clear`; my $x = qx(clear); `clear`; Thanks, Hewlett Pickens -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
