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"
