I'd recommend that you do something like this: 1-assign the text clear into a variable, this will save time later on... eg: $clearScreen = "clear"; Then: system($clearScreen); will clear the screen when ever you want to do so - this is just the way i do it... probably better ways to do it as always ;) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 20, 2001 2:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Clear I am writing lines of information to the STDOUT(Screen). In Unix k-shell I can execute the "clear" command to remove all lines from the screen. How is this done in Perl?
