Nah, that only works for 24 line terminals
- xterms and VGA DIS screens(43 or 50 lines) won't work.
Clearing the screen is very terminal specific - which is
why there isn't a standard function for it in Python I guess.
I think F/'s terminal(name?) module tries to take care
of most of these differences.
