Description

It's an MSX-DOS 1 tool created by Stefan Danes. You can find it on Dragon Disk 03 and Future Magazine 3.

You can't use it under MSX-DOS 2 / Nextor, because the internal command CLS is then automatically used.

Command

Effect

• Simply clears the screen and homes the cursor.

• Can also clear the first or last 12 lines of the screen 0 or 1.

Contrary to the MSX-BASIC CLS instruction, the full clearing of the screen works also on Kanji screens without any problem.

Syntax

CLS /F /L

Parameters

/F is used to clear the 12 first lines of the screen.

/L is used to clear the 12 last lines of the screen.

Environment

• MSX1 and higher
• Only MSX-DOS 1
