PicBasic Pro serout question

Well -- ordinarily, most terminal emulators will give you a new line if you send them either a linefeed: 0xA (dec: 10), or a combination of carriage return and linefeed: 0xD(13) and 0xA (10). Occasionally you can just send a carriage return. The CR/LF sequence should always work.

As far as what character sequence will trigger a clear screen, this will depend on the terminal emulation mode you have hyperterminal set up for. The sequence for an ANSI terminal should be [2J, where is ascii character 0x1B (27 dec).

A complete list of ANSI escape sequences can be found at:

Thanks for the help! That was just the info I needed. Now I can cleanup my screen.

Wouldn't a ASCII FF (0x0C) work as well for a clear screen?

I think this depends on the terminal emulation -- I just tried echoing this character over an ssh session with one of my machines, and it doesn't work, although ESC[2J works as expected.
