Cannot clear the screen in ConqueTerm

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open MacVim 7.3.390
2. Execute  :ConqueTerm bash
3. Execute ls for example.
4. Execute clear.
5. Notice that the cursor goes back to the top but the screen is not cleared. 
There isn't a way to clear the screen on ConqueTerm.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I was expecting for the clear command to behave the same it does on a regular 
terminal. That's to clear the screen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 2.3 on OS X Lion 10.7.3

Please provide any additional information below.

This problem only shows when ConqueTerm is set to xterm, Macvim OSX 10.9.

This is a feature of bash, not of ConqueTerm. Open a terminal (outside of vim) 
and type:

$ ls /usr/bin
$ clear

(The first command is just to get more than screen full of text.)
You will see that the terminal has not cleared any history, only scrolled down.

To truly clear a bash terminal type

$ reset

Unfortunately, this does not seem to work in ConqueTerm.
