I do the same thing, but its clunky and doesn't completely solve the problem.

I can think of various solutions in addition to a "clear screen" button:

a) "clear history", which leaves the interactive prompt at the top of the window

b) a scrollbar which lets you scroll down so that the only line shown
is at the very top of the window
