Re: Clear Screen

There is no direct command or special ASCII the IFI Terminal Window will recognize (or at least not the last time I tried the entire ASCII string set), but you can simply send a whole bunch of carriage returns, e.g.,

printf("/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r/r");

Re: Clear Screen

You could write your own terminal or use another free one that does have a character that will clear the screen

If you choose Adam 3A terminal emulation and then find a terminal program that supports it, you can have a complete way to control where text is put on the screen.

I dont think these work on the RC, because these are actually external function calls to the windows terminal, but I may be wrong.
