Summary: 


This is all in reference to the 'rep' program posted.

The shell CANNOT duplicate its function!  Rep doesn't clear the screen.
It does a 'soft clear' and repaint with curses-stuff.   Only what changed
in the command output needs to be repainted.  That is very different
than the shell script with clear if you are running at less than 9600 baud.
