Extra character at beginning of both standard out and file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When using wtee a single extra character is printed as the very first
character, both on standard out and in the file.

In the file, it's ascii character 0C.  On the screen, it shows as the woman
symbol (circle with cross below)

Actually, the character is caused by using the CLS command in the batch file.

standard out is not cleared, and the character is shown instead.

Here's the batch files I use to reproduce this behavior, along with the 
generated
text file and a screenshot of my CMD window.

I'm using Windows XP Professional SP3.

Is there any way to not interfere with the CLS command?  I really need to clear 
the console screen at times.  Also is there any way to prevent seeing that 
weird character?

I was very excited about using this tool until I realized it doesnt handle CLS 
the way one would expect.  If you know of another command line tool for Windows 
that can handle CLS, please let me know.

Thanks!
