Re: Can fortran clear the 3270 screen?

I am not. Yes, lets.

 Let's  minimize the pain. :-)

Ok, here's the reason I want to do this.. Perhaps there is another way
around.

At regular intervals my STREK program prints out the current situation:

----- show in fixed width

  DAYS:  655    BASES:   13 TORPEDOES:   10
ENERGY: 3000 KLINGONS:   95
COMMAND  CXX C:?,Q,W,I,P,T

But sometimes this gets broken by the end of page mark "***" and that leave
the player with only a portion of the information they need to select and
implement
their next command.

Oh, I just got an Idea.. If the situation display is on the screen-break
just hit enter
and get a new one without the loss of a day or the Klingons getting a
turn...
perhaps that will work.
