clear screen

If you do clear screen by type

clear

Try to scroll ur mouse up, you will figure out that, your previous typed command and result is still there. I does what you asked, clear the screen. It feed couple of blank lines instead of cleaning everything.

In order to make the perfect clean, type this instead

reset

Usually people type this when ur console is screw up.
