+ \fB@CLEAR@\fR clears your screen if this is possible.  It looks in the
+ environment for the terminal type and then in the \fBterminfo\fR database to
+-figure out how to clear the screen.
++figure out how to clear the screen.  Some terminals can clear also their
++scrollback buffer to prevent access to potentially sensitive data.  If the
++\fBterminfo\fR entry for the terminal type contains extended capability
++\fBE3\fR, \fB@CLEAR@\fR will use it to clear the scrollback buffer.
+ .PP
+ \fB@CLEAR@\fR ignores any command-line parameters that may be present.
