The ^L character is a command in the text widget -- it redraws the
display. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell the text widget to
insert a character that is also bound to a command, so the best you
can do is insert the ^L character into a file and then load the file
into your article using the "include file" button.
To do that, type
echo -n '^Q^L' > /tmp/clear
at the athena% prompt, where ^Q means to type ctrl-q and ^L means to
type ctrl-L. If that doesn't work, then use ^V instead of ^Q. Then,
click on "include file" and type the filename /tmp/clear and hit
return, after moving your cursor to where you want the ^L to be.
I will send a but report to the X Consortium about the fact that it's
not possible to insert characters that are bound to commands.
