No.
I think you may have this confused with the system() call.
Graphics_mode(-1) changes back to the previous mode,
there's no mention of clearing the screen.
The documentation says that if it leaves junk on the screen,
you should use the DOS command CLS.
I think you could also put a clear_screen() right after the "then".
