I've been using GTTY a lot recently and discovered a feature that probably 
should have been there from day one: A "clear screen" commmand. Expecially 
helpful when you're running diagnostics and are getting errors - then swaping 
boards and reruning the diags. Hitting the "clear screen" key (F6) is handy 
for cleaning up the old diagnostic messages.

To update your copy to this latest version:

Cheers,
Lyle

Note: For those who haven't been following "GTTY" -  Its purpose is to act as 
a "Glass TTY" for a PDP-8/x, including paper tape reader and punch. It has 
"pacing" implemented, and supports baud rates from 110 to 38,400. The "txt" 
file includes documentation on both "GTTY" and the hardware modifications for 
implementing "pacing" for your PDP-8/x. Source code is included.

Please also note that GTTY defaults to "pacing" mode - but if invoked as
"gtty -n" will turn off pacing.
