Ron,
The way I always cleared the screen in Basic-Plus on RSTS on a VT50 or
VT52
terminal was:
PRINT CHR$(155)+"H"+CHR$(155)+"J"
The CHR$(155)+"H" positions the cursor in the top left of the screen
Then, the CHR$(155)+"J" clears the screen.
This is all from memory. I haven't actually written that kind of code
since the late 1970s.

Works on the terminal.. while the terminal is pretending to be a vt52
... but now still fails on the osX/Terminal but
that's ok because it probably has a non-op vt52 emulation....
