Clear confusion

Hi,

In some machines when i type "clear" it completely clears all the contents on that window but on some it simply scrolls up all the content.

How can i change this?

To my understanding the way the clear reacts depends on the application you are using. Some Telnet clients clear the screen while some scrolls the things up.

But this is happening to me with the same telnet client.

Also i use X-Win32 a X-Window system.

In this it clears in one machine and in others it simply scrolls up.

I think its some sort of parameter.

Which terminal you are using ? Can you check the TERM variable set for your session ? Check on both the cases and post the same.

Its dtterm in all cases.
