A brute force method would be to capture the codes from the command itself. Here is an example. Note that the 'clear' command implements only screen clearing. But I prefer 'tput' which can access any terminal capname. Try smso and rmso capabilities for a diversion. man tput TERM=ansi tput clear | od -c 0000000 033 [ H 033 [ J 0000006 And you can save those for use later. CLRCODES=$(TERM=ansi tput clear) echo $CLRCODES Bob
