Yes, this is what you need to do under BASH. I thought
I had verified it there, but I guess I wasn't getting
what I thought I was getting. (I mostly use ZSH--at
least I knew better than to write "print -n $'\ec'".)
In fact, under a Command window it looks like this may
end up working the same as the "clear" command (for me
it does at least clear the scroll contents). But if you
use RXVT (as I do), sending <ESC>-c does a much better
job than clear.
At least I did say YMMV. :-)

P.S. It could also be written 'echo -e "\ec\c"', which
has an odd alliterative appeal (to me). :-)
