Re: st: Re: Clear the Results Window

[Tom Trikalinos <ttrikalin@mac.com>]

I generally agree with David's view. Nevertheless, some people -me 
counting amongst them- would like to "clear" the results window from 
time to time; depends on the mood.
We know it's meaningless, but we do like to do it.

Mingfu would probably like to see the following program. It's 
essentially a copy-paste of a code snippet posted by another stata list 
member whose name -I regret to admit- I fail to recall.

save it as cls.ado along the adopath, and you're set.


*! version 0.1 5Dec2005
program define cls
qui query
qui loc lines = c(pagesize)
if c(more) == "on" {
  qui set more off
  display _newline(`lines')
  qui set more on
}
else {
  display _newline(`lines')
}
end
