Imho the shell should rather implement the ! command to ask the bash (or other shell) to execute a command in its preferred format. This way any executable could be launched from sqlites command prompt. A clear screen would be available as !clear or !cls.

In Konsole under KDE at least, there is a "Clear Terminal" command. With SQLite though it leaves you with a blank screen and no prompt. Hitting enter brings back the prompt, but at the BOTTOM of the screen. Better than nothing I guess. I just thought it would probably be trivial to add this to SQLite's command line program.
