I've been using Ada for a semester now and I don't understand that.
The original poster stated he was a beginner, so some more sane
presumptions might be in order:
GNAT 3.0x, MS-DOS or UNIX, VT100 (or MSDOS with ANSI.SYS loaded)
(not sure if this'll work on a Mac)
in which case you'd 'with' the Ada.Text_IO package and ...
Ada.Text_IO.Put (Character'Val(27) & "[2J");
to clear the screen (Character'Val(27) is the escape char), then
Ada.Text_IO.Put (Character'Val(27) & "[H");
to move the cursor to the upper-left corner of the screen.
