)	The approach I've used successfully involves trapping the logout
)signal (signal 0). Example:
)
)		trap 'tput clear; exit' EXIT
)
)	I use this under SCO and ISC UNIX, among others. On some systems,
)the EXIT reference is not recognized, so use 0 instead.

Or to simulate .logout completely, do something like

	trap ". $HOME/.logout ; exit" EXIT

which will execute the contents of .logout on exit from the shell.
This will also work with the System V.2 Bourne shell, since it too has
the trap command.
