Which terminal?  If the regular CMD window, "clear" works just fine (as
long as it's installed, see <http://cygwin.com/packages/>).  If you use
"bash", you can also try pressing Ctrl-L (which is the default mapping to
readline's "clear-screen" function and can be changed with "bind").

"cls" is a DOS-ism, and won't work.  I'm not even sure what "clr" is.
HTH,
