'clear' does not clear entire screen (affects vim also)

[Town, Brad]

(This was sent to the cygwin-patches list rather than the cygwin list.)

The ChangeLog entry is attached.  Is there a better way to do this sort of
thing?  For example, should I send a ChangeLog entry along with proposed
patches?  Should I send proposed patches to cygwin-patches instead?

BTW, the copyright assignment form is almost ready -- I'm waiting to get the
employer part back.  Perhaps I'll send the first two parts now and the third
part when I get it.
