Online? resets >your terminal. Another solution is to go to the window menu, select chat on, then select chat off...this will also clear the screen. Of course, you could also try typeing a ctrl-o, which, if whatever computer you're talking to will be so kind as to echo it to your terminal, will reset the character set to the GO character set...a ctrl-n sets the terminal to the G1 character set, the one with all the wierd characters. an ESC-c sequence should also do the job, resetting the terminal to it's power-on characteristics (although I haven't tried this one, on a real VT-100, it would do the job).
