/* Stolen from Eric Tetz''s Win32 console wrapper */bool Clear (){ HANDLE hconsole = GetStdHandle (STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); // get the number of character cells in the current buffer CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi; if (!GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo (hconsole, &csbi)) return false; COORD coordScreen = { 0, 0 }; // here''s where we''ll home the cursor DWORD cCharsWritten; // number of chars written by console output routines DWORD dwConSize = csbi.dwSize.X * csbi.dwSize.Y; // fill the entire screen with blanks return (FillConsoleOutputCharacter (hconsole, '' '', dwConSize, coordScreen, &cCharsWritten) && FillConsoleOutputAttribute (hconsole, csbi.wAttributes, dwConSize, coordScreen, &cCharsWritten) && SetConsoleCursorPosition (hconsole, coordScreen));}

I believe there is a clrsrn() function or something like that in conio.h - try searching for it in help.

No, there''s not. Anyway, what you''re thinking of is clrscr().

conio.h is non-standard. The Clear() function shown above will work fine. You can also use system("cls"), though a lot of people frown on using system().
