(defun erc-cmd-CLEAN ()
  "Clean the current erc server buffer."
  (save-excursion
    (let ((inhibit-read-only t))
      (delete-region (point-min)
                     (erc-bol)))))

You can customize erc-auto-query to make it open a new window when
someone sends you a message. ERC does not do the bookkeeping to
determine if and where a message was sent to someone so it can
find out where it should display a reply. But actually, the reply
should be displayed in the current window (or last active erc
window). Does it really show up only in the server buffer?
