REFRESH Repaints the whole screen, erasing any extraneous characters (such as those caused by noise on a communication line), and repositions the text so the screen represents the last known state of the editing context. REFRESH redraws each line of each window mapped to the screen. The prompt area is erased. The screen changes immediately: even if REFRESH is done from within a procedure, TPU does not wait until the entire procedure is completed to execute REFRESH. Example The following procedure erases the message buffer and repaints the screen: PROCEDURE user_repaint ERASE (message_buffer); REFRESH; ENDPROCEDURE; Related topics MESSAGE UPDATE
