Re: [Bug-apl] Is there a way to clear the screen?

[Elias Mårtenson]

You can use the source for file_io as an example. It's pretty clear and shows what is possible.

Dear Elias,

On one hand, I would still love to see a basic ^L ability without having to get into external code.

On the other hand, perhaps I should start to take a look at library code.  (I actually have over 20 years of C experience.)  I fear my reaction once I see how it works.  I'm sure the possibilities are endless.  I haven't even looked at it yet.  Is there a hello world sample?

Thanks.

Blake

The correct way to do that is to use the native interface to provide an interface to Curses. It should be fairly trivial to implement.
