===================================== MODERATOR'S COMMENT:

I'm approving this because it's a response to something that was
already approved and posted, but it really isn't on-topic for
this group.

Well I'd rather not use "CLRSCR" either, seeing as ITYM "CLS". And honestly,
it's the easiest way:

system("cls");

It's not portable, but there isn't a portable way to do it (as you'd know if
you'd read the FAQ). You could probably also write it in a different (and
equally non-portable) way, but why would you want to?

HTH,

Stuart.

P.S. Next time, you're better off posting in one of the VC++ newsgroups.
This isn't a question about the C or C++ languages, so it doesn't belong
here.
