[Tutor] Clearing the Console Screen

[Don Parris]

With the console-based menu system I'm building, I'd like to clear the
screen for each menu call - something like:

def main_menu():
    clear #start with a fresh console screen, menu at top
    print menuitems


This way, the users won't have to get too confused by all the previous
screens.

I haven't found the correct way to do this so far.  You can point me to the
documentation, and I'll play with that.  

Thanks,
Don
