60 <STRONG>clear</STRONG> clears your screen if this is possible, including
61 its scrollback buffer (if the extended "E3" capability is
62 defined). <STRONG>clear</STRONG> looks in the environment for the terminal
63 type and then in the <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> database to determine how to
64 clear the screen.
