CLS command

[RonLinu]

In the new version 1.4a, the CLS command does not send ASCII 0x0C to clear the terminal as it used to do in the previous version. Couldn't find the code to fix that so far. Is there any #define or modif to reactivate this functionality?

Thanks! Your project is quite impressive, I must say.

Can you tell me your hardware configuration? Which system, display etc? I changed something there. Seems to be a side effect.

Hi, I use an Anduino Mega, compiled as BASICFULL. For the monitor, I use Minicom in VT102 mode or I use also your 'monitor.py' program where I added a test for 0x0C character to execute a 'clear' command in Python. Just tell me if you need more details.

Ok, understood. I broke that part of the code to test some display functions and checked it in.

Look for this code

case TCLS: xc=od; od=2; outch(12); od=xc; nexttoken(); break;

and change it back to

case TCLS: outch(12); nexttoken(); break;

Background info, my changed code redirects the 12 always to output device stream 2 which is the display. On a system with a terminal, this is bad. Mostly, CLS is used for display systems and it seemed logical for me to do it like this.

Alternatively you can keep the code above and do

PUT 12

in BASIC.

Best, Stefan

Thanks! Both solutions work.
