If I'm not mistaken, it's the other way around. SMART_REFRESH
to let intuition do the dirty work, and SIMPLE_REFRESH to do
it yourself...

Oh my, it certainly could help sometimes. I didn't even
have the autodocs for quite a long time. I still miss
the RKRM's very much. You never find the examples you
need. (Yes, I know what you'll be saying: "Buy the
developer CD!" Well, I did. V1.1. Without the RKRM's.
But still, without a CD-ROM drive... And, no, I won't
buy a new Amiga before I can see what's to become of it
all.)
