Then you obviously haven't used an Integrated Solutions UNIX box
running 4.2 BSD, where "cl" is documented as "clear screen" (i.e. no
"and home cursor").  I have developed "screen" under Integrated
Solutions 4.2 BSD and didn't want to introduce an additional symbol
indicating whether or not "cl" homes the cursor.
