^[[H^[[J
^^-- those two "together" are the ESC character (which in C amounts to
\x1B)
so to clear the screen you'd do something to the affect of
sprintf(buf, "\x1B[H\x1B[J");
send_to_char(buf, ch);
DISCLAIMER: I know this isn't needed, but the above is considered
"mailer code" which means you can modify it as needed, without
need of a license :-P.
