Newbie- how to basics

[Tony C]

I've gone through much of the documentation included with Python
2.2.2, but can find any kind of reference on how to clear the screen
from a python script, or at the command line.


Another useful feature would be command line history (up arrow, down
arrow, etc), like in the Unix shells.

Would ssomeone point me to some docs (specific locations) which
descibe these features ?

thanks
