Hi
Hmmm... firstly, check your Runtime.exec() code. If it's right, that's a
shame.
Secondly, there's two ways to clear a screen.
1) Output 25 lines of blank lines.
Downside: You end up with cursor at bottom of screen.
2) Output the ANSI Escape codes for clear screen.
Downside: DOS must support ANSI.
It might look something like:
System.out.print("\033[2J");
