- USAGE
-
- Clear is used to clear the display and optionally set the
- colors of the display. It's parameters are similar to
- color. E.g:
- CLEAR green on black
- would clear the screen and set the colors of the display
- to green letters on black background.
-
-
- Clear uses ANSI escape sequences. If the ANSI sequences
- are off, clear sets ANSI on for the duration of the
- process and restores the original situation at the end of
- the process. Unlikely to color-command, the colors change
- every time. Still CLS-command seems to reset colors to
- their default values (white on black) if ANSI is off.
