What VMS are you running? C version 2.0 has a rudimentary
curses package which would take only about 5 lines of code
to implement a clear-screen routine. If you want to clear
screen without even worrying about terminal type, just
assign a log-name or define a symbol telling the terminal
type that can be read by a command proc containing all
the sequences necessary to clear screen on whatever terminal
you like. It's not pretty, but it sure works well.
