Hi guys can any of you tell me how to clear the DOS prompt screen using Java is there a method in the System class or what? I am using Java 2 and please no applet code... I am just coding in an MSDOS window Cheers Dark Star UK

it can''t be done (to my knowledge). Java doesn''t think of a DOS window as a window

you can always try
for (int i = 0; i < 50; i ++ ) {
System.out.println();
}

:D

You might want to look into JDK1.4 - they might have added something, but my guess is if you want to do anything fancy, you might have to move up to AWT or Swing.
