Hi Paul,
I think is has to do with the fact that CLEAR is a REBOL word. Have a look
at:

Hello Paul,
To avoid using the word do like in do clear you need to define clear as
a function like :
REBOL []
cls: func
[ {Efface la console. CLS pour CLear Screen.}]
[ prin ^L]
or just
clear: does [prin ^L]
After that i think only clear is working like you finaly want.

Ah! thanks Arie. I tried to clear the console with clear and when it
didn't do what I wanted I started looking at other ways to do it. I did
think of it being a reserved word for some purpose other than clearing the
console.
I appreciate the input.

Hi
Yes! that is exactly what I am wanting. Since, as Arie was kind enough to
point out, clear is a reserved word in Rebol I changed it to cls so
that it is now cls: does [prin ^L].
Thanks for the help;

Hello Paul,

No, it should still work. Look:
clear: does [print hello]
clear

Rebol allows you to freely change the value of
most words. I would advise against doing that
with clear, though; it's an often used function.
