Aargh!! No, no!  Please don't say that this system doesn't support "SMART" 
refresh windows!  This is supposed to be a "real" computer with lots of
memory.  If the application doesn't know how to refresh a window, it
shouldn't have to.  Let the OS handle all aspects of a window.  Just cause
the Mac doesn't (or didn't, maybe it does now?) handle such things doesn't
mean the rest of the world should stay so barbaric.
