Hi ~~  Keystroke  <Ctrl> + <l>  clears screen (at least with bash).

That's a good keystroke to know, since it has similar function in
other programs...

For example, in emacs it redraws the screen... what does
"redraw" mean?  it's a combination of
  - clear screen (get rid of characters that were written to the
                  screen by non-emacs programs, like kswapd)
  - refresh emacs screen

In Lynx, CTRL-L is "Refresh the screen"

In less, ^L is "Repaint screen"

 ...clear...  ...refresh...  ...repaint...  6 of 1, 1/2 dozen of the other!
