And, of course, this whole question is normally moot anyway. Why do you *want* to clear the screen? Most CLI tools don't.
Would you want 'dir' or 'ls' to clear your screen before telling you what's in that directory? As Victor once said (I miss him) [paraphrased] "I don't want your program to clear my screen. If it does, I won't use it." -- PJH http://shabbleland.myminicity.com http://www.chavgangs.com/register.php?referer=9375
