Mary, this is exactly what I needed -- good to go now; thank you!
As a side note: Man, what an intimidating can of braindamage I've opened! :)
thanks all!

P.S. if anyone's bored enough, you can check out what we're up to at
https://github.com/srphtygr/dhb. I'm trying to get my 11yo kid to spend a
little time programming rather than just playing video games when he's near
a computer. He'a actually getting through this stuff and is honestly
interested when he understands it and sees it work -- and he even spotted a
bug before me this afternoon! Feel free to raise issues, pull requests,
etc. if you like -- I'm putting him through the git committing and pair
programming paces, so outside interaction would be kinda fun :)
P.P.S. We're actually using 2.11bsd after all..

This is the right info. Be sure to scroll up to see
how to use tgetent,
tgetstr, and tputs. You aren't likely to need any padding.
Essentially:
tgetent using getenv("TERM") gets you the whole entry from
/etc/termcap
tgetstr of "cl" gets you the "clear"
sequence
tputs outputs the "clear"
sequence

ISTR the database being at /etc/termcap normally.

oops, thanks and sorry! I neglected to mention
that this is in the
context
of a c program.

2.11 BSD has clear (1).
