goto, cls, wait commands

Best advice: try to forget QBasic, and try again reading the tutorial.  That, if
your post is serious.  If it isn't, keep reading my reply :)

goto for python:

Please ignore the line in bold red.

>Secondly, how do I clear screen (cls) from text and other content ?

Python clears after itself, so you don't need to.  If you insist though,

.>> import os
.>> os.system('cls')

That on a windows "console".

If on IDLE, try closing the window and reopening it.

>And last, how do I put program to wait certain amount of seconds ?

(A serious answer for a change)  Waiting is time related.  So import time and
call the time.sleep function.

Try entering help at a Python prompt.
