How does Ctrl-L or Alt-012 clear the screen? Neither should have that effect. Alt-012 is just a carriage return, Ctrl-L is an term refresh often. It's client, rather than terminal, dependent (I believe)? Probably what you want is an ansi ESC[2J or something - perhaps try something like: perl -e 'print chr(27)."[2J".chr(27)."[0;0H";' (e.g., that appears to clear my screen, perhaps pop that output to a file and append the rest of your issue to it..) Cheers, Alex.
