something that appears to work on ny vt100 emulation derivative:

echo "^V^[c"

that is, type 'echo "' followed by ctrl-v and ctrl-[, and then a lowercase
'c', close quotation marks, and hit enter.

it works on the linux console, xterms, and various vt100, vt220 and
similar emulationsi've seen so far.

note that here i assume the ctrl-v is the escape character on your
terminal emulation (which usually is the case).

p.s. i saw the 'reset' command exists also on sunos and solaris systems
(/usr/ucb/reset) and appears to work there too. but on ther other hand, i
also noticed it changed my xterm to it's "mouse click sends mouse ansi
sequences" mode (at least i think the 'reset' command did this), making it
impossible to use cut&paste on that xterm.
