I'm using B19.1 on Win95-OSR2 myself. The COMSPEC variable appears to be set in
my installation to C:\COMMAND.COM, I didn't
change it so I assume that this was the default.
Anyway, that aside, what is wrong with the 'clear' command? If your TERM
variable is set correctly, i.e. TERM=linux, the 'clear' command
appears to work. If you haven't already got it, get andyp's ''local''
distribution (see the gnu-win32 useful links), as it gives a whole lot of
really useful tools, in one easily managable chunk.
Hope this helps
Bob Cross.
