According to my book (VMS, which may be different to yours):

Clear & Refresh both need the "restore=lines" program parameter.
Also, they're only done when Quick is ready to prompt, which won't be until
some time after the refresh all.

I'd recommend using just one command (which could invoke a script if
necessary), and the necessary clear/refresh clauses on the one run command.
Keeping shell scripts in a database seems like unnecessary hard work.

An alternative would be to write a script on the fly from the database, then
invoke it.
