IMHO that is a little silly.  My terminal program (runs in the
native mode of my CP/M machine) traps that.   I did this mostly
because the screen is bit-mapped (16K) and takes _ages_ to clear
(well, ages in processor time!).    Some of the BB systems I know
(Opus particularly) send 3 or 4 clear screen sequences. 
 
I would have thought that any reasonable bios/comms program would
have the same trap.
