My First Program Help! - slither - 09-29-2015

So hi i was just wondering if its possible as i want to make a program where if the Input from the user was A then the screen clears and you can put whatever you want in it and save it this is what i have so far

#My random tool

Code:
print " "
print "Welcome Nerd\n"

def login():
    usr = raw_input("Username: ")
    passw = raw_input("Password: ")

    if usr == "slither" and passw == "test":
        print "Success! You Have Logged In!"
    else:
        print "Login Failed Please Try Again!"
login()


print ""
print "Type --help For Commands"
print ""


def whatNext():

    next = raw_input("slither> ")
    if next == "--help":
        print " Use Can Use These Commands\n A For Inserting Text\n B For Inserting Files\n And C For Updates"
    elif next == "A":
        print "Need Help here!" # i dont know what to do next!


whatNext()

thanks in advanced!

if you're running windows, import os, then use os.system("cls"). Linux, os.system("clear"). If you're running it cross platform, you can use a ternary operator: os.system(["clear","cls"][os.name == "nt"]).

examples:

Code:
import os

#1, Windows
os.system("cls")

#2, Linux/OSX
os.system("clear")

#3, cross platform
os.system(["clear","cls"][os.name == "nt"])

Just a sidenote: you might want to write a method that gets the user information from a text file, like I did here using Ruby.
