A simpler method (that I prefer) would be to just clear everything out of 
the output window leaving only the prompt.  I prefer everything cleared 
because that makes it simpler to see what happens with the current 
calculations.

One other potential bug that I thought of (but it would be hard for me to 
test):  Is there a limit to the number of lines in the view window?  I.e. 
will the window just keep growing forever or does it have a buffer limit? 
If it will keep growing forever, that could be troublesome for long 
sessions.

The associated feature request for the above would be a preference to set 
the number of lines to keep in the output window.
