OK, whenever I use centerICQ or BitchX I always have to do CTRL+L to update the terminal and it's begging to really "PISS ME OFF" to put in light/non-swearing terms

Is there any way to somehow do it? just some way? even to do CTRL+L once I can loop it or something, I just need this, I am going crazy!
Thanks
(PS. Please keep it on topic, I really want to get this solved so please keep the OFF-topic posts off here or into another thread, also if you have no suggestions, please don't just post something)
