The first command "clear" will clear the screen. The ";" tells the shell you have another command coming. The second command "logout" will log you out. The FreeBSD screen will then look as if no one had ever logged in. Adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
