The clear alias is just a way to print certain ANSI escape sequences to the screen, which it interprets as commands to clear the screen, change the type colors, etc. From ARex you could either do: CLEAR_CMD='*E[0;0H*E[J' address command 'echo '||CLEAR_CMD or maybe just: say CLEAR_CMD note that the *E are just an amigados trick for doing the escape character, which can also be had with Arexx' D2C(27): CLEAR_CMD = D2C(27)||"[0;0H"||D2C(27)||"[J"
