Can you put the command "clear" or "tput clear" in the shell's login and logout files (globally /etc/csh.login and /etc/csh.logout, local to the respective user ~/.login and ~/.logout)? You can also test those two commands interactively. I think they are connected to the ^L key, just to make sure if something's wrong with the /etc/gettytab file. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
