Your thread subject says "Clearing a screen in jqt…" but I don't see it
mentioned in your post.
Do you also want to know how to clear the Term window (or an Edit window)?
wd 'sm set term text *hello world;'
--empties Term and writes 'hello world'
Accordingly:
wd 'sm set term text *'
or:
What's "normal" and what's an "error"? (Or, for that matter, a "crash"?)
When looking for the best solution to a coding problem, we can be prisoners
of our emotive use of language. Way back in IBM in the 1980s I recall the
end-user of a bespoke app written in APL picking up the phone in fury when
In jqt you can take control of the term window, fetch its current contents,
cut them back and rewrite the term window.
Likewise other windows in the jqt IDE.
This link is a reference to help you do that:

For years I've laboured under the delusion that nouns (i.0) and (0$0) are
identical in all respects, and will pass any tests designed to discriminate
between them.
However 5!:5 can tell the difference:
5!:5 <'z' [z=: i.0
i.0
5!:5 <'z' [z=: 0$0
0$0
Nor, it seems, is there any fooling it

I was sorry the moment I sent it.
I only offered it as a clear example of an ill thought-out logical
proposition. I wasn't inviting corrections.

(6!:0 NIL) returns the current date/time as an integer 6-list timestamp.
(6!:0 'hh:mm:ss MM/DD/YY') ditto, but in the specified format (y).
How can I use the *selfsame* algorithm to format any (valid) timestamp?
If the answer is "only by writing my own formatting verb, or by setting the
