Roger Serwy added the comment:
This is a different spin on issue6143. Here the suggestion is to combine the
clear function with the restart option for a new menu option.
I am closing this one as a duplicate of #6143, but adding the Shell "restart
and clear" suggestion.

New submission from Raymond Hettinger:
Without a restart-and-clear option, the shell window tends to grow without
bound, becoming increasingly lethargic along the way.
I've have recurring student requests for this minor feature.
