Clear the terminal screen

Usage

@CLEAR@

Overview

@CLEAR@ clears your screen if this is possible, including its scrollback buffer (if the extended "E3" capability is defined). @CLEAR@ looks in the environment for the terminal type and then in the terminfo database to determine how to clear the screen.

@CLEAR@ ignores any command-line parameters that may be present.
