Not for me. I think the point made earlier was that the docs actually, in the most strict logical sense, don't say anything about what you need to do if a command doesn't output anything. I.e. they say you need Ctrl-L if the command does output something, but are silent (no pun intended) on whether or not you need a Ctrl-L if the command doesn't output anything. However, in English 'if' often really means 'if and only if', so the logic nitpicking isn't really valid--a phrase such as 'particularly if' or 'and even sometimes if it doesn't' could perhaps make the documentation clearer--if the behaviour you mention actually is reproducible elsewhere and not just a bug in a particular version, system or GUI! Which version/system/GUI are you using? Ben.
