Comfused, where did the
Code:
def clrscr():
for i in range(1, 50):
print
come into it  . If you search the forums there were some previous threads about this although i think the genenal idea was to use a system command to clear the console - unless where talking about curses in which case you want to look at the curses module:
http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.3/lib/module-curses.html
EDIT: got ya now, move everything off the screen . Nice idea heheh. You could also use \b about a million times
Mark.

Yep, the trouble with using os.system() is that while system() itself is portable, the command you're running isn't necessarily portable. For DOS, it is called "cls" and for *nix, it is called "clear". Who knows what it is going to be on some other OS. Same with the curses module, which only works on *nix terminals.
This clrscr() function might be a bit naive, but I guess it should work on anything that can print. Might need to increase the range of the loop though .
