CL clears the screen 15+ different ways. It can restore screens saved with
CL or CLCAP using the 15 methods. A small version if CL, LCL (Little CL) is
also included. LCL includes everything except the help screen and routines
requiring floating point: RADAR, PUZZLE and WINDOWCLEAN.
Running CL
CL no arguments
Displays HELP screen
CL one argument
This will clear the screen to black using the method in the argument.
The argument is a number between 1-16 or one of the Command Words.
The numbers and matching Command Words are:
1 CloseCurtain
2 Dissolve
3 Explode
4 HorBlinds
5 OpenCurtain
6 PushDown
7 PushL2R
8 PushR2L
9 PushUp
10 Puzzle
11 Radar
12 RollAway
13 VertBlinds
14 WindowClean

16 Shake
CL 16 (Shake) This will shake the screen. An additional argument may
be passed to shake the screen NN times (CL shake 10).
CL 17 (Save)
This command must be followed by a file name. The screen is saved to ]
that file.
CL NN "FileName"
If the third argument is a file, then the saved screen in the file will
be restored using the method NN.
CL NN somecharacter
If some character (ASCII value 1-255) is passed as the third argument then the screen will
be cleared to that character using the method NN leaving the existing
color attributes intact. Example: CL Radar ▒ (▒ can be entered by using
Alt+177)
CL NN somecharacter FG BG
If there are an additional two arguments, then these values will be
used for the color attributes for the screen clearing.
PAUSE
Any command sequence can end with PAUSE. PAUSE at the end of the line will
cause CL to (you guessed it) pause until there is a keystroke.
