If your "screen" is ANSI.SYS on a PC or VT100 compatible, or an xterm, or
an Open Look cmdtool, try the routines included in Chapter 11 of Ada 95
Quality and Style: Guidelines for Professional Programmers.  You should be
able to  find that under http://www.adahome.com.

If on VMS, try the SMG$ services.

If none of these help, try

   for I in 1 .. Screen_Height loop
      Ada.Text_IO.New_Line;
   end loop;
