OK, this is for JAVA users...
I work in the MS DOS environ. My problem is I am unable to define a proper function to clear the output screen. All I do is define a function with a for loop which scrolls down by 26 lines - a thoroughly useless code for proper use. Can anyone devise a suitable code for me ?
PLEASE HELP...

Please, I am using JAVA, NOT directly MS DOS.

You can try making a system call to "cls", but I don't know if that will work. There's a little bit of information about it here: http://www.michael-thomas.com/tech/java/javaadvanced/platform/ under the section "Additional Notes". If that doesn't work, there's a better way to scroll than with a for loop. Instead of doing the scrolling with a for loop, you could do it by printing a long literal string of newlines. Like "\n\n\n\n\nn\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" or something similar. Good luck!

Doesn't CLS clear the screen in DOS.
