I'm looking for a "clear" command under bash that will clear the screen in
the same way that cls does in a DOS session.  All I can think of at the
moment is creating a function that echo's the ANSI clear screen control
sequence, but would rather not make ansi.sys a requirement for this
application.

Anyone tackle this problem already?

Doug
