"Many programs will redraw the screen when ^L is typed. This might help
when there is some modem noise or broadcast message on your screen. The
command clear will clear the screen.
The command reset will reset the console driver. This helps when the
screen is full of funny graphic characters, and also if it is reduced to
the bottom line. If you don't have this command, or if it does something
else, make your own by putting the following two lines in an executable
file reset in your PATH:
#!/bin/sh
echo -e \\033c
that is, you want to send the two characters ESC c to the console."
