How to clear a screen using a DCL command?
(like in unix, I may use clear, in DOS,
I may use cls)
Thanks.

I use some useful symbols

$ W80 :== SET TERMINAL /WIDTH=80

and

$ W132 :== SET TERMINAL /WIDTH=132

Probably more possibilities

Where were you in 1994, when someone actually cared?

It's tough to decide who's more lame: the fellow who
awakened this long-dormant thread, or the others who keep on
"contributing" to it. Especially by duplicating answers
provided decades ago. Yow.

Why, thank you Steven for pointing out the date. I hadn't noticed. However,
I'd ask, since I wasn't the only poster, why does it seem that you directed that
comment only at me, or at me and "others"?

Only if someone rolls one for you.
