Closing all scilab figures with one command

I observed that to close all figure windows in scilab, we can't use
>> close all
like in MATLAB.
After looking around, got the equivalent command in scilab. It is,
>> xdel(winsid())

peace.

Running a python script from the python shell

To run a script from the python shell or the python prompt, use the command

>> execfile('filename.py')

To clear the screen, do the following,
>>import os
>>os.system("clear")

These are for systems running Ubuntu. Not sure if this will work for other operating systems.
