Clear Screen Script
Handy to have around because it shows how to use printable escape
sequences from shell scripts...
#!/bin/ksh
#
# cls - clear screen and reset all (vt100+compatible)
#
# ESC = control-[ = octal 033
# CSI = ESC + [
#
# CSI + ?3l = set screen width 80 (?3h=width 132)
# CSI + ?5l = set normal video (light chars on dark bkgd)
# CSI + 0m = turn off blink, bold, underline, etc
# CSI + 2J = clear entire screen, turn off double height/width
# CSI + H = home cursor
#
echo "\033[?3l\033[?5l\033[0m\033[2J\033[H"
