This is not a good way to do it but it can clear the screen alright: 

      write (*,'(bn,a1,a3)') char(27),'[2J'

The good thing is it is independent of which compiler you use. The bad is 
it is dependent on ANSI.SYS. If you don't have device=ansi.sys, that
it won't work. I believe it (clear text screen) can be done by assembly
and interface it with Fortran, but I do not know how to.
