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. ============================================================ |Todd Aven MANAGER@UMDHEP.BITNET | |Softwear Sweatshop AVEN@UMCINCOM (arpanet, bitnet)| |High Energy Physics UMDHEP@ENEEVAX.UUCP | |University of Maryland | |College Park, MD 20742 | ============================================================
