Even though it's different than previous releases of FreeBSD, it is the expected behaviour. FreeBSD 9 uses an xterm-like terminal emulation. Xterm doesn't seem to blank the screen when it echoes a ^L. login and csh do blank the screen, but they do it by hand. I could change it, but I'm afraid it breaks stuff... :-) -- Ed Schouten <ed_at_80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/
