No. For the last time, asc 12 is not clear screen. Ascii codes are
printer control codes; not terminal control codes. Hence the ansi escape
codes. I don't see why you're arguing this point given you yourself have
found that it doesn't clear the screen.

Okay, I read the wrong line, I apologise. Sending me the ascii table is
downright cheeky at best. I certainly don't need a noddy explanation of
nonprinting ascii characters. Save your sarcasm for someone who might
help you again in future.

Cheers,
