            <function>tohome</function> sets the commands prompt to the top of the command window,
            followed by an empty space down to the bottom of the console.

        <para>
            Unlike <code>clc</code> that erases all preexisting execution results,
            <function>tohome</function> keeps but rejects them above
            the visible area of the console, and therefore masks them. It is still possible to see
            former results by dragging the vertical scroll bar available in the right margin of the console.
        </para>
        <note>
          On MS Windows, <function>tohome</function> can only be used when Scilab
          is launched in standard windowed mode (<code>getscilabmode()=="STD"</code>).
