(See the best response by Ter13.)
Code:
mob/var
 uchihahistory = "<br>Uchihas are OP bytches... blah blah blah blah"

mob/verb
    hyuugaclick()
        src<<output(usr,"clanpane.clandesc")
        src<<output("<center>[hyuugahistory]</center>","clandesc")
        src<<output(usr,"clanpane.clanpic")
        src<<output('HyuugaNeji.png',"clanpic")
//      winset(usr, "clanselect.CLANDESCPANE.clandesc", "text=\"null \\\"\"")
//      winset(usr, "input2", "text=\"WorldTalk \\\"\"")


Problem description:

I'm using a button system that call this verb. As you can see when it calls the verb it also displays a pre-set "description" onto an external output screen. My issue is that I want to the output screen to clear the previous text, rather than streaming addition messages.

src << output(null,"clanpane.clandesc")


Sending a null message to an output element will clear it.

Although, it'd be much better if you were using a single browser element rather than a bunch of output elements for displaying information like this.

Um, I'm assuming you're using an actual output (your description is a bit confusion). If this is the case, you can clear and output by passing null to it. So, something like this:

src<<output(null,"clandesc")


should clear it.
