BINGO! The recent message regarding the long delay to do a clr (sorry, I don't have the reference) was answered by ast, to the effect that "you should do a chmem +8000 clr" (or something close to that) because stdio would take forever if enough memory was not available. This has solved a problem that I was having with "more" which took forever to display the next screen, when the space bar was pressed to show the next screen. Doing a "chmem +8000 more" solved the problem. The real proble

CLR works as does stevie, etc. with TERM defined as 'minix' and a termcap with minix escape codes that work with the other programs.

Thee is a problem with the clr command that will cause
a memory fault is the TERM parameter is not set to the
user's terminal type. The problem is that "tgetent" is
called before the program determnes if TERM is present
with "getenv". The following cdiff will correct the
peoblem.
