Subject: Clear IRB's buffer (similar to clear on Unix and cls on Dos)?

Hello James,

The Control L doesn't doesn't clear the buffer....

All it does is place a ^L on the corresponding line:

Raven:~ untz$ irb
irb(main):001:0> ^L
irb(main):002:0*

Does anyone know how to clear the irb's buffer?

Many, many, thanks!
