Or put 'clear' in your .logout script.

Yes, but that will clear the screen every time, not only when you want.

If you hit scroll-lock and hit page up, won't that show you what you were doing?

OK, so it won't clear all traces (I just checked, you're right). But it will still leave the screen clean. I like doing that, not so much to cover up I was there, but rather when I want to start the next logon with a clean screen. It helps me keep the screen organized better.

Or is that just a Linux trait?

Actually, I once suggested to a Linux user to hit scroll lock and use the page up key. He told me it does not work that way under Linux - it just freezes the screen.

BTW, did you notice the pause key has the same effect as scroll lock? Although, it may depend on whichever key map you are using.
