[Tutor] Clearing the screen from the terminal

[Cranky Frankie]

Agreed about negative aspects of clearing the screen. But there is a
reason. I'm doing version 1 of this program as terminal based, yet still
Model View Controller. My hope is that, once it works in the terminal, I
can then move the View part to PySimplegui without too much trouble. So
those screen redraws will turn into GUI lists that get refreshed.
