yeah - thanks, that actually is also a feature in WBCtrl/WBC but I remember that I turned it off for some reason. That would be the ideal situation for refreshing windows, but I think it conflicted with something or slowed something down, I forget.
It turns out that the software which I had disabled (which lets you update by pressing the spacebar) was the script setkeyandmenu.rexx -- where is this from? I think it was a script from a larger set of scripts.
