To prevent text from appearing in a secondary window:
1. Don't send it there, or
2. Use a #GAG trigger in the secondary window
In other words, do what Ton suggested.

As far as I know, you can't delete lines ALREADY sent and shown in a window (you cannot delete, say, the login prompts after 10 minutes of playing). Therefore, if you didn't initially gag them and they are not part of a specific multiline combo there's only one way to do it--using a nanny variable to keep track of everything sent and then deal with each thing as needed. Once dealt with, you'd need to use #CLR to destroy the old output and reshow the entire variable.

Unless you need specfic trigger, macro or button functionality in your child window; you may wish to consider using the status window. It allows things to very easily be displayed and is updated everytime a variable changes.

Look up the command for putting info in the window. That being STW. The caveat is you can only have 1 status window.

Actually, you can. See the #GAG command (as Ton suggested).
The numeric argument to the GAG command specifies the number of lines to GAG. If the number is omitted, a single line is gagged. If the number is negative, the indicated number of lines prior to the current trigger line are gagged.
If you want to delete the last 10 lines (including the current one) the command is:
#GAG 10
If you want to delete the 10 lines before the current line it's:
#GAG -10
If the login prompts are still in your scrollback after 10 minutes of playing, you can remove them.
