'clear' command in Cygwin/Terminator

I'm stuck on a Vista box for a desktop gateway to development servers. One of this things I miss is the clear screen command ('clear"). Other users have reported with Cygwin in a cmd window, a ctrl-L clears the screen, but this doesn't work for my environment.

I just installed the ncurses package in Cygwin and now have a working 'clear' command in Cygwin under Terminator.
