Does anyone know how to clear a wsh scroll buffer? I can clear what is displayed in the window, but can't clear the entire buffer. I can do this on a Sun, but can't find a way to do it on a SGI. I have read the documentation; the only thing I have found are several ways to clear what is on the displayed window, but not the whole buffer. -- Brent

Please give this escape sequence a try. If it doesn't work, then it will work in the next *major* software release from sgi. \033[14/y kipp

Well... not quite right. It cleared the buffer, put the prompt on about the 25th line down from the top of the visible screen and everything scrolls from THAT point down. The upper portion of the screen will not clear. Is that escape sequence documented some place? Thanks for trying. -- Brent L.
