Description

Folks constantly try to use :clear to "clear the terminal" in Gremlin Console and there does not appear to be a nice way to do this across platforms. A recent post on Gremlin Users from Kelvin Lawrence here:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/gremlin-users/BQfqEHmoG7E/wp7LVA1-CAAJ

that demonstrated that you can just send:

println("\033[H\033[2J")

made me think that it would be really easy to wrap that up in a command called :cls or shorthanded :C (since :clear is already taken).
