[Tutor] Clear Screen

[fleet@teachout.org]

Absolutely wonderful!  Tutor is my friend! :)  I've actually gotten into
the later chapters of "Learning Python" (two more days 'til it goes back
to the library!) and believe I ran across something that told me I could
do that - but hadn't gotten to try it yet.  Thanks a million!

PS: This replaced the function in my startup file! :)

in turn clear the screen for you. :)
