| Is there an easy way to clear the screen, I have been making changes to the Oasis OLC smaug port and would like to clear the screen between menu changes just to make it a little more readable.
I have been searching the web to find help and all i can find is lots of ways to clear the shell, or command line if it is a console app.
Thanks in advance for your assistance. |

| Doesn't seem to be. This is the best I could find on the subject:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/telnet-options
You could always try to flood the screen with newlines as well. |

| I did think about the cheepish hacks we used to do 100 years ago in Pascal, when i first learned to program. But i would have thougth in C there would be some Function like CLS that would clear the Telnet window, not just the consol.
I will look at that website now and see if i can come up with something better than a for loop and a bunch of line feeds. |

| | I think that 0x0C (form feed) will clear the screen, on clients that support it. |

| | MUSHclient doesn't support it either, there have been lots of posts discussing why. |
