I have received help on one of my questions (thank you Henrique Jorge

I have not yet received help on how I can skip to the top of the next
page, i.e. cat("\n") skips to the next line, is there an equivalent
way
to skip to the top of the next page?
"\n" does NOT "skip to the next line". It is a character and it is
interpreted by some sort of program, say a a plotting program or a
word-processor as a line feed. You need to specify what sort of
program you intend to do this "skipping-to-next-page" action and also
provide the character sequence that that program uses to signal that
action. (There are not any pages in R except perhaps multi-page plots
but you seem to be in character mode at the moment.)

the top of the next page?
(2) I know that control L will clear the console. Is there an
equivalent
function or other means that can be used in R code to clear the
console?
