I agree with Bernie on this - and it is definitely the easiest thing
to make nn do - so I just did it!

In 6.4, there will be a variable "scroll-clear-page" which is set by
default, and causes the screen to be cleared before displaying the next
page of an article.  If it is not set, nn will do as Bernie suggests.

Doesn't make much difference at 19200 baud though (but maybe I'm just
a slow reader :-).
