[Tutor] New Re: Clearing Python text

[Oscar Benjamin]

Further to previous comments, It is also preferred to send emails to
this list in plain text rather than html. This is because it protects
the formatting of Python code and works better with all possible
mail-clients/news-readers/archives etc.

It's still not clear what you are referring to. What piece of software
is responsible for the "page" you are referring to? The Python
interpreter itself does not have a "page".

If you run Python in a terminal, then the terminal shows a page of
commands and output. If you run Python commands in IDLE then you will
be typing your commands and viewing their output in the IDLE page. If
you edit a .py file then your editor will show you a page (although
the file itself is not really divided into pages).

Can you please clarify very specifically what this "page" is and/or
what you are doing that leads to the page being there?
