Subject:	'clear' does not clear entire screen (affects vim also)

Problem:  Bottom portion of screen is not cleared by 'clear' if the visible
screen width is less than the actual (buffer) screen width.  This also
affects vim because the bottom portion of screen in vim is not cleared
before redrawing.  This leaves the existing characters on the screen in the
areas where no next is written (i.e. after the ends of lines and blank
lines).

To reproduce the problem:

1. From any bash shell, resize the window narrower so that a scrollbar
appears at the bottom of the screen.
2. vim a file or run 'clear'

Win2000
