You need to hit the 3270 PA2 or CLEAR key.  The PA2 key is usually emulated by  
hitting the ESCAPE key, followed by hitting the PERIOD key.  The 3270 CLEAR key  
is usually emulated by holding down CONTROL and hitting the Z key.  These  
3270-to-terminal mappings are controlled by the map3270 file (try man map3270  
and man mset), and you can change the mappings as you like.
  
The difference between PA2 and CLEAR is that PA2 will only clear the screen in  
certain environments under the VM operating system (the clearing of the screen  
with PA2 is a software convention under VM - possibly some other IBM software  
environments support PA2).  The CLEAR key emulates a 3270 hardware function,   
and will work under all IBM operating systems. If you only work with VM, use  
PA2.  If PA2 doesn't work, try CLEAR.

One other note about VM screen control.  The MORE message at the bottom of the  
screen signals that VM has more terminal output to show.  VM will wait for you  
to hit the PA2 or CLEAR key, or until a timer pops (1 minute, I think).  If you  
need more time to read the screen, press ENTER.  The MORE will change to  
HOLDING.  A HOLDING never times out ... you have to clear the screen manually  
with PA2 or CLEAR.
