Wow on M$ it's cls and on UNIX clear? How unbelievably unpythonesque. 
It is the first thing i've ever seen in python that i could say was 
truly stupid. Guido should get that time machine revved up and quickly 
change one of them so that they are both the same. I guess that this 
was done to keep python from being absolutely perfect. Sorta like Greta 
Garbo's feet.
