(Or "clear".) On the other hand, I think it's been at least a decade since I've used a terminal or emulator that's not VT100-compatible (i.e., accepts ANSI control sequences). Of course, I'll run into one the day after I start writing code that depends on that assumption. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.ghoti.net/~kst> San Diego Supercomputer Center <*> <http://users.sdsc.edu/~kst> We must do something.
