How do you clear the screen in a console application? Thanks.

By printing some 50 line breaks, by using '\n'.

or using

clrscr(); //cammand

(or thats it for me for C++ 3.0, and also C++BuilderX)

Yes. clrscr() works for only TurboC or Borland compilers.
Hence it is not recommended.

But you can create your own clrscr function, may be like this:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

void clrscr() {
    int i;
    for(i = 0; i < 50; i++)
        printf("\n");
}
