In Qbasic it's CLS

Also your right Ethan and thank you that did the trick print CHR$ (147)
  IN Qbasic there is a SLEEP command as in...

10 PRINT " HELLO WHAT IS YOUR NAME? " PNAME$
20 CLS
20 SLEEP=10 <----PAUSE FOR 10 SECONDS
30 PRINT "HELLO" PNAME$ "yOUR STARTING A ADVENTURE THAT WILL TAKE YOU
THROUGH THE"
40 PRINT "MISTY MOUNTAINS "
=============================================================

How would the sleep function work in basic I have tryed 10 sleeo=10, 10
"sleep=5" its not working...

But thanks again Ethan!!!
