I want to run a shell command in a terminal and then clear the console from Applescript.
If I did it manually, I would use ^ K - how do I send the ^ K character to a string in the terminal?
I think the gentleman who suggested "clear" probably solved the problem, but just in case you really want to do what you said, you can simply use:
echo "^ L"
(you type it like 'echo "")
I think you are looking for the "clear" command.
