  There are three ways.

  The first is to write out the ANSI escape sequence to clear the
  screen.

  The second is to use whatever facilities are provided as extensions
  to the Standard Library by your compiler.  Borland C++ supplies the
  clrscr() function, for example.

  The third, and best, is to use the VIO subsystem.  The quickest means
  of clearing the screen is to use VioScrollUp to scroll the entire
  screen up (use -1 for the "number of lines to scroll" parameter).  A
  similarly fast means is to use VioWrtNCell to write a whole screen's
  worth of the same character; but this requires that you make an extra
  call to find out the screen dimensions in order to determine how many
  characters to write.

  We really ought to have a list of Frequently Given Answers for the
  OS2PROG echo.  How to clear the screen in text-mode programs would
  certainly be one of them.
