   What does "clear" do in this context?

   So, normally you wouldn't extract a CD-ROM archive into data/dirs. That could   
   possibly overwrite important files in that directory (though, not likely). So   
   that's unusual. Instead, I like to put all my CD-ROMs into a common parent   
   directory, e.g.:   
   $ ll /cdrom/   
   total 60   
   drwxrwxrwx 19 rswindell rswindell 4096 Mar 27  2021 asp0696   
   drwxr-xrwx 16 sbbs      sbbs      4096 Feb 16  2005 cica95   
   drwxr-xr-x 65 sbbs      sbbs      4096 Feb 16  2005 cyberxpo   
   drwxr-xrwx 66 sbbs      sbbs      4096 Feb 16  2005 mm94   
   drwxr-xr-x 61 sbbs      sbbs      4096 Feb 16  2005 nopv13   
   ...   
      
   And then within that directory, you'll have each CD's directory hierarchy:   
      
   $ ll /cdrom/nopv13/   
   total 344   
   drwxr-xr-x 2 sbbs sbbs  4096 Mar 30  2021 001A   
   drwxr-xr-x 2 sbbs sbbs  4096 Jan 28  2011 002A   
   drwxr-xr-x 2 sbbs sbbs  4096 Feb 16  2005 003A   
   ...   
      
   And then each CD is best created as a *library* in SCFG->File Areas. You can   
   import a directory list or scan the directory to create the directories within   
   the library in SCFG.   
      
   And *then* you can use 'addfiles -lib=' to import all the files and   
   descriptions (either from file lists or DIZ) for each directory within that   
   library (CD).
