Great! But I believe that’s I think because Windows Terminal got “modernized” to use ancient Unix tech. 🙂 If you want to support older Windows or just not with Windows Terminal, that may not apply. But going to the shell, i.e.:

```julia
julia> run(`cls`)

```

should always run on Windows (but not on Linux, why it would help for Juliato add it as a cross-platform option), even in PowerShell: [Clear-Host (Microsoft.PowerShell.Core) - PowerShell | Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/clear-host?view=powershell-7.2)
