[Tutor] newbie programmer

Anticipating a FAQ before it comes :-)

How to clear the screen?

Several ways:

Either print lots of newlines

print '\n' * 50

OR

use the operating system command:

os.system('CLS)  # DOS or
os.system('clear')  # Unix

Or be very clever and send the appropriate terminal control
codes (ANSI for DOS, VT100 for Xterms on Unix)
