Better yet, do it before you logout, then do "clear;logout". My original hint was meant simply to leave the screen blank. It was not meant as a security measure, just leaving things neat. If you need to completely cover up your tracks, create a file with a thousand (or however many you need) blank lines. Now supposing the file name is blanks and it is in your home directory, enter the following, all on one line: cat ~/blanks;clear;logout That'll do it. Adam --- Want to design your own web counter?
