Clear screen in NAWK

Hello guys,

I wonder if it is possible to clear out the screen in AWK.
I'm printing out mail messages and I would like every message starting on the beginning of the screen. When I use FOR loop and printf("\n") it clears out the screen but my text is somewhere in the middle of the screen.

THX a lot.
