In your home directory, a file called .bash_profile or .bashrc should be there.

In this you could write at the bottom:

Code:

alias cls='clear'

If you did this, typing "cls" would do exactly the same as "clear"

You could also use symlinks. Depending on where the command "clear" is, you could use the command:

Code:

ln -s clear cls

Which would symlink "clear" to "cls"

Either way would work.

Hope that helps,
