According to what iv'e read, the commands to clear the screen are:

Ada.Text_IO.Put(Item => ASCII.ESC);
Ada.Text_IO.Put(Item => "[2J");

on my compuer they simply make the text value of ESC apear followed by the
[2J. I'm using Windows ME at the command prompt. and suspect it has
sometyhing to do with the way the OS recognised escape codes... but ca
anyone direct me somewhere where i can find the right escape codes?
