eshell -- how to erase entire buffer?

[Kin Cho]

Is there a easy way to erase an entire eshell buffer?  Outputs
and prompts and all.  Looks like the prompt in a eshell buffer
has read-only attribute and is preventing from a simple
(erase-buffer) from working.

I think this package will help you:

http://www.northbound-train.com/emacs/em-joc.el

I found info about that on http://emacswiki.org, a good place for
finding emacs stuff.

I am using this:
,----
| (require 'comint)
| (define-key comint-mode-map [?\C-c C-f4] 'erase-buffer)
| (put 'erase-buffer     'disabled nil)
`----
It's maybe a little bit rigorous but it works in all 'comint' derived
modes such as 'sql-mode'.
