Then <ESC>H<ESC>J should clear the screen. NOTE! The ANSI command prefix <ESC>[ will put a real VT52 into "hold screen" mode where you need to press some (scroll?) button to allow new lines to be added at the bottom of the screen. Ask me how I know! phil Well, is there no end to fascination... That 'worked' in that I was able to do this in n xterm on my mac: printf "\033[?2l" which changed the size of the xterm window to 80 chars wide... then: printf "\033H\033J" which cleared the screen as you said it would. But, then, I telnet'd into the the v7 instance and set TERM=vt52, etc. Now vi gives this: Y7 HJY- ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~Y, However, I should note that v7 doesn't seem to process escape sequences, either with a pristine instance or my fully configured instance... echo '\033' \033 This is why I suggested using printf direct in C :)

?test a <ESC>J (just echoes the J) . w 3 q $ od -c test 0000000 033 J \n \0 0000003 There's escape problems :(. I'll see if I can spin up a V7 box and see if
