Description

Make a simple typo (in this case, opening a string with a doublequote and closing it with a singlequote) and groovysh holds it against you for the rest of the session, refusing to do anything except remind you of your mistake:

You can use the clear command to exist that buffer and return to the groovy:000> prompt.

Thank you, that works. The documentation on clear could stand to be fleshed out a bit to make it obvious that it's useful for this sort of situation - 'Clear the current buffer' isn't very enlightening, especially in the context of what clearing a buffer means for some other shells.

if you have a suggestion of what exactly it should say, then we could change the text

What about something like "Clears the current buffer, resetting the prompt counter to 000. Can be used to recover from compilation errors."?
