I think you misunderstood, Rolf.

Right now

print

by itself throws an error.

I am proposing making that command -- by itself -- clear both the Jmol
console and the System.out JavaScript console (what is displayed using the
JSCONSOLE command).

So no loss to what we have; only a gain.

There is also an inconsistency I see with the JavaScript or Java applet,
but not the Java application, that

print ""

also clears the Jmol console. I propose removing that and having it just
print a blank line, as is done for the application.
