- You're going to think I'm nuts, but try 'cat /bin/ls'. I'm using the
- ls from the MCC-Interim 0.97pl2 distribution, and it happens to
- contain the right sequence of codes to reset the console.

- How did I discover this? Don't ask.

- Suggestion to the person who wrote/maintains the 'setterm' program:
- Please add such a reset feature to your program. Perhaps it already
- has one, but since I don't have a man page for it (nor can I find one)
- I haven't found it. 'setterm -reset' and 'setterm -initialize' don't
- solve the problem.
