Suggestion for next version.
 
Could we add a 'Empty scrollback buffer' command? Perhaps #EMPTY ? Currently the only way to do this now is to either use 'Layout-> Empty Scrollback' or change the size of your scrollback in 'Prefs -> Memory'. BTW, if this is the wrong spot to post this, I am sorry, :)

As far as I can tell, #CLR does clear the scrollback buffer.

Odd, in the helpfile it says that the scrollback buffer is unaffacted, perhaps updating that then.
"Syntax: #CLR

Clear the screen. The scrollback buffer is unaffected. To clear the entire scrollback buffer and reclaim the memory, use the {Layout|Empty Scrollback} menu command."

I didn't even bother to try, because it says it doesn't work.

It does seem to be Clearing it completely , try to save the buffer after using #CLR you only get what's currently there. But if you want to be sure just as easy to set an alias like
Code:

#ALIAS empty {#MENU {Layout|Empty Scrollback}}
