Can anyone tell me how to to it _with_ using VT codes? I tried to clear
the screen using the VT100 controll sequence (ESC [2J), but to no avail:

$ erl
Erlang R13B (erts-5.7.1) [source] [smp:2:2] [rq:2] [async-threads:0]
[hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.7.1  (abort with ^G)
1> io:put_chars([27|"[2J"]). 
^[[2Jok
