Try the above three lines from the interactive prompt and nothing that I
can see happens. Try the last two lines on a single line with the ;
separator and the screen is cleared, I'm sorry but I don't understand this.

I've tried wrapping the interact lines from above into a cls function in
my own bare bones config file based on the data in the pywin32 help
Keyboard Bindings section. Screws everything. What steps are needed to
get what I and others have asked for in the past, i.e. clear the
interactive screen, run the program/module under test, resort to normal?
I observe that the Ctrl-R and Shift-Ctrl-R key combinations are not
available in the default config file (presumably to keep bozos like
myself away from them? :). So do we have to resort to (shock, horror,
probe) doing things manually?
