[Coco] basic09 clear screen

The Basic09 Level 2 manual has a list of ascii codes on pages 9-1 through
9-3

Besides CHR$(12); (make sure you use the ; if you want the cursor to remain
at the top of the window, otherwise it will appear on the next line) there
are the following methods you can choose from:

GFX2 command CLEAR: RUN GFX2("CLEAR")
SHELL command: SHELL "ex display 0C", which uses the display command to
issue the clear-screen character (in hex-format); ex discards the new shell
before running the command
PUT command: PUT #1, 12; or PUT #1, $0C, the #1, is standard output path,
or the screen, 12 and $03 both represent the ascii value 12, which is the
clear-screen character

Hope this helps.
