OpenVMS Tips and Tricks - Clear Screen, ls -lha

Want to clear the screen? "TYPE/PAGE NLA0:" will do the trick. Just alias it to your dos like cls or to a UNIX like clear command :-).

$ CLEAR == "TYPE/PAGE NLA0:"
$ CLEAR
$

Might as well alias LS to a DIR/SIZE/DATE/PROTECTION:

$ LS == "DIRECTORY/SIZE/DATE/PROTECTION"
$ LS *.JAVA
