	This is exactly what needed to be done.  I believe that it 
	clears the screen even faster than the 1.2 clr.  I also
	moved the termcap entry that applies to my terminal in 
	etc/termcap to the top of the file, sometimes it works
	faster if the termcap routines don't have to read through 
	alot of irrelevent entries.

	Thanks
