rio too heavily optimized ;)

[Ethan Gardener]

When the console (or crazy rogue programs I may have experimented with) draws text over Rio windows, it was formerly possible to click the border with buttons 1 or 3 to get the window redrawn.  It doesn't work any more.  This is a plain text rio window with only a couple of lines of text, the over-drawing occured below the window's text. Neither covering up the window nor scrolling forced a redraw.  The only thing I found to work is moving the window.

First you'll have to know some things: how to turn the computer on and off (odd hours), how to enter and display data from the console switches, and how to avoid damaging data stored on disk. You may have to corner operators or engineers to discover such information; it is so rarely of interest it doesn't get written down.

you might also notice that rio is a lot more responsive over high
latency connections than it was before all these changes.

You may find the attached command more useful for re-drawing (unless you’re using drawterm).

Ah, that's good.  I withdraw my claims of excess. :)

Thanks, that will be less bother than refreshing windows individually.
