This is exactly why off-topic questions should not receive
answers: often, the given "answers" are wrong.

Non-sequitur: even if the question were on-topic, there is no guarantee I
would have answered it correctly.

But had you been wrong about something topical, there would be plenty
of people here who could correct you. With an offtopic reply, you may
be utterly wrong, and yet go quite uncorrected.

Additionally, my answer is "right". The short program will clear the screen
using Putty and probably also using SSH Secure Shell.

Its worth noting that finding examples which happen to agree with you
does *not* constitute a proof. Here's a case in point: I assert that
all inhabitants of my town are named mcintyre. Evidence: all the ones
I can see are named mcintyre. QEND.

I'm not sure there is a single method that will clear the screen on all
platforms.

There isn't. This is a FAQ by the way.
