Actually, N1MM does have that feature and has had it for a long time. 
It's just implemented differently.

All you have to do is place the command {CLRRX} at the end of your macro 
and the RX screen is cleared and the cursor placed at the top left, 
ready to print onto a fresh new screen. If you want to clear the screen 
after the macro executes instead of immediately, just place the command 
{END} in front of {CLRRX}.

I actually prefer it to WriteLog's implementation because you know the 
start of print is always at the top left, unlike WriteLog's, which can 
start anywhere at the left side of the print area. That's a minor point, 
but after using both for years, I prefer N1MM's way because it's less 
fatiguing after hours of operating. The new print always starts in the 
same place.

It does have the drawback that once executed, it wipes the RX screen 
clean so you can not scroll back. Just be sure to capture the info 
before executing.

You can place {CLRRX} at the end on just one macro, a few of them or all 
of them except F5. Placing it in the F5 macro will interfere with ESM.

Try it, you'll like it. :-)
