[9fans] window's content clearing

[9fans] window's content clearing

[Rudolf Sykora]

Hello,

Imagine I have a rio window with a long history, i.e. lots of text
have been entered and the scroll bar is just a tiny box. And I'd like
to clear everything, so that only the last prompt remains. I know I
can clear some portions with a mouse. But that is often tedious. Is
there any nice way how to achieve the goal? /dev/text is readonly...

Thanks
ruda

In acme you can do something like
Edit ,$-1d
but I don't know how to deal with a terminal outside acme.

Well, this is true. In an editor you have the wings...
[Btw., also reading a man page is somewhat easier in an editor for me
since I can search in the text then, which can't be done in a rio
window itself (thus one must search only with one's eyes).]

Wouldn't Acme be a nice UI?
(Repeating myself, sorry).
