I do not see how Restart (as opposed to a proposed Clear option) loses anything.  However, closing without saving definitely anything since a save.  Moreover, even after saving Shell once, there is no Save on Close box displayed (as for editor windows) when closing Shell without saving.  This has been discussed somewhere (maybe StackOverflow) but I do not find an issue.

Raymond, would it be sufficient if saving once would mean that one could not close (or clear the window) without being prompted to save again?  What if we add timed autosaves #21152 (based on your comment on #21140, msg215485), or autosave (or autoappend) with each prompt?
