Ret one of these:
1) alias cls='echo -n ^[[2J' # the ^[ is an esc (in vi I use ^V followed by
# ^[ where ^ is holding down the cntrl key)
2) compile this into clear.exe or cls.exe:
#include <stdio.h>
int
main () {
printf ("\033[2J");
}
3) alias cls='cat ~/.cls'
where .cls contains just these 4 chars with no \n (ESC [ 2 J)
