clear will work for a terminal that makes use of it (which I guess is most terminals), but I am working on Windows, and clear does nothing.
I tried 'cls', which seems to work fine from a dos window, but in vim, it just resets the screen, but I can still scroll through the console history.
Basically, I want to easily be able to reset the current prompt to line 1, so I can compile (or whatever), and then go back to the beginning of the console window without finding this spot in the history.
e.g.
prompt> clear (or some vim command)
prompt> ant clean all
lots of error messages
prompt> <C-\>Ngg
...
This might work fine in Linux with clear, but I don't really get the behavior I want in Windows with clr. I suppose I could set a mark and then jump to the mark.
