Clear: Type Y to confirm<br />

Since we do want to clear the worksheet now, type Y for Yes. The<br />

screen will become blank for an instant, and almost immediately a<br />

fresh, empty worksheet display will appear. If the worksheet had not<br />

already been empty, anything it might previously have contained<br />

would now be lost (unless you had saved the worksheet's contents<br />

on a diskette before clearing it-see SAVING THE WORKSHEET,<br />

below).<br />

The extra confirmation step ("Type Y to confirm") acts as a safeguard<br />

against losing your work accidentally. In the event that you type IC<br />

by mistake, you can safely back out of the operation without losing<br />

the contents of the worksheet by typing any character except the<br />

letter Y.
