Dave Korn "piped":
For gui consoles, use
alias cls='echo -e "\033c"'
which does clear the scrollback buffer.
Thanks Dave, this works on 'xterm' but not on 'mintty'. On 'mintty' it does a 'clear' (i.e., clears the screen), rather than a 'cls' (i.e., clears the screen and scrollback buffer). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
