Here's three things you can try:
1) alias cls='echo -n ^[[2J' # the ^[ is an esc (in vi I use ^V followed by
# ^[ where ^ is holding down the cntrl key)
2) compile this into clear.exe or cls.exe:
#include <stdio.h>
int main () { printf("033[2J"); }
3) alias cls='cat ~/.cls'
where .cls contains just these 4 chars with no \n or spaces (ESC [ 2 J)
HTH,
