Note that *most* VT-terminals and VT-emulators, takes longer
to "cursor-home" and "clear-screen", then to just display
one character after another.

So, the fact that you miss chars on the 3-5'th line after
a "home-clear" command, *could* be because the VT-term/emul
is busy homing and clearing, so the PC-FIFO buffer (in the
UART or in the Windows COM driver itself) fills up before
it is ready to accept new characters.

Try to put a delay (say 0.1-0.5 sec) in your PIC code after
sending the home-clear sequence.
