irritating output of `clear screen` commands

[Gerald Marewo]

Hie.

Our system administrator has just downloaded and installed
        octave 2.0.16
One irritating thing I have just noticed in this version is that
the commands
        home, and
        clc
do not exactly clear the screen. Below is a typical output from
either commands.
        octave:3> clc()octave:4>

Is there any way of getting rid of this behavior and get the
expected behavior?

Another question is:
        * What new features or bug fixes come with 'octave 2.0.16'?

Any form of help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Gerald.
