RE: clear screen

Since I hate to discourage useful ideas, I've thought of a simple
solution that should meet your needs:

$ alias cls 100 stdout

Then, whenever you type 'cls' you'll get 100 blank lines. Naturally you
could increase the number if needed. Since version 2.1 aliases are
persisted indefinitely, so you only have to define the alias once.
