os.system('cls') works just fine from a command shell. I just tried it. Are you running from inside Pythonwin? If so, then what you are looking at is not a "shell screen" in any way. It's a simulation, and I don't know of any way to clear it. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
