Claims that one should _never_ do something are obviously
_always_ wrong. -clear- has its uses, and is exactly
appropriate when one needs a program to start with a
completely clean slate, not just an empty dataset, but
then you'll get what you ask for. Not being able to use
-postfile- is one of the consequences.
