I was never able to use readline to get \C-l working to clear the screen.
alias cls='echo -ne "\E[2J"'
This works fine for me on NT 4.0. Only quirk is that the bash window must
be expanded horizontally as far as it can go.

The clear command is part of the ncurses package.
There is another possibility, though: You can echo the appropriate
escape sequence to the screen and it will get cleared, too.
Write a small programm yourself:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("\033[2J");
}
Bye.
Michael.

I just download bash 2.02, and have been trying it out. I like what
I've seen so far expect for one important thing. I can't seem to clear
the screen. I'm using to using "clear" command when I using bash on
Linux, and "CLS" when I'm at a DOS prompt, but neither one of these
commands works. Is this not supportted? It seems like it would be a
simple enough thing to implement.
Please respond directly to me, if possible, as I am not on the mailing
list.
