This is not a flame, just a suggestion.

You presumably have some problem you are trying to solve, and think that
calling the Redisplay routine from the application is the way to solve it.
I suspect that there is some other way to achieve what you're trying to
do, in a way that doesn't involve breaking the data abstraction barrier
between applications and widgets.  If you'll send another message that
describes what you're trying to accomplish, you're likely to get more
helpful responses.

This is often a problem with questions posed in this group.

p.s. There is no way to call the Redisplay procedure from an application.
