You can clear the window by selecting Clear from the Command Window shortcut menu. To enable its use by multiple instances of Visual FoxPro, the file is only read when starting Visual FoxPro, and written when exiting Visual FoxPro. The file is located in the same directory as the FoxUser resource file. You can determine or change the location of the resource file from the Options dialog box, File Locations tab, or via language using SET("RESOURCE") or SET RESOURCE respectively.

Yep, that is pretty much what I've been using myself. I also have the project-specific CONFIG.FPW define their own FOXUSER resource files. Although it seems "more complicated" to have more than one shortcut to start VFP, it does help in maintaining a relatively clean configuration that avoids keeping the environment configuration separate for each project (this avoids situation where settings for one project "leaking in" into other projects). It also saved me some headaches with transition between pre-Vista and post-Vista OS environment (in particular the wonkiness that occurs with configuration files being stored in folder hierarchy like "c:\Program Files").
