If you have a bunch of csh/compatible users, a `clear' in all their .logout files will do that. For an unconditional clear? Maybe adding `\f' to the `im=' entry in /etc/gettytab would do it, but I can't test that from here.

Press scroll lock again to leave scroll mode. Clearing: type `clear'. Color: the default (syscons) and the pcvt consoles already support it; try installing colorls. Type pkg_add /where/ever/packages/utilities/colorls-2.1.tgz or install it from the ports/utils/colorls directory. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory, Boulder Colorado USA Too bad you can't buy a voodoo globe so that you could make the earth spin real fast and freak everybody out. -- Jack Handey
