     All of this talk about using CLEAR in programs got me thinking.
I have NEVER used CLEAR in a program. This got me thinking even more,
and I am ready to make the following statement, open for discussion:

CLEAR will NEVER be needed in a program.

     I don't want some wise-guy to tell me, "You're right; you could
just do DEPTH DROPN" I mean, that general function will never be needed
in a program. Which means, the use of CLEAR is extremely sloppy.
Throw some "what-ifs" at me, and I'll think about them.
