I'll have to read it again but it sounds like they were actually changed
by some timer code, not directly from the g command.
This is a feature that requires a lot of thought.
If lines change because of something you did then I tell you;
if they change from a timer then I don't.
The fear is some realtime site, maybe changing stock prices all the time,
and you don't want it spitting out those changes to you all the time.
Imagine if this spit out a message once a second.

But maybe we don't have any of those websites since we don't have asyncronous
and all that stuff running,
and here in this example you would want to be told of the change,
or more accurately, you would want edbrowse to run the rr command,
for how would you know to do that,
and it would seem like it didn't work.
So we really have to give this one some thought.
