Clearing the Transcript

I am building a complicated printed output using our Visibility product. The print process outputs its actions to the Transcript as it builds. This is great for finding out where something has been built incorrectly. It would be very convenient to be able to include a line in the process which clears the Transcript before a run. This would save me having to find the start of the current run in a long Transcript.

is there a way to do this?

Try this:

Transcript textWidget setString: ''.
