clearing screen


As someone asked to do stuff like clearing the screen from within guile ...
a possibility is to type ` (system "tput clear") ' on the guile-prompt,
or in a scheme-script, provided you have GNU-termutils installed , TERM
initialized ( e.g. 'export TERM=vt220;tput init' ), and the terminfo database
correctly installed.

Of course this is a clumsy way of screen management, but ok for occasional use.
