Message-ID: <cisca.343$6f1.31576@stones.force9.net> (raw)

Can anyone explain why this doesn't work.
I am fairly new to ADA and would appreciate the help!

with ada.text_io;
use ada.text_io;

procedure ClearScreen is

begin

    Put (Item => ASCII.ESC);
    Put (Item => "[2J");

end ClearScreen;


It's meant to clear the screen but all it does is display a small left arrow
then [2J


Thanks in advance.
