window refresh

Traditionally, ircII clients have redrawn your display after each window operation. However, on slow computers or over slow links, performing several operations in sequence causes a “flickering” effect which can be visually distracting. The client tries to avoid this problem by not redrawing your display until the end of each window command.

You can use this operation to force the client to immediately redraw any windows that need updating, instead of waiting until the WINDOW command is finished.

This operation first appeared sometime in EPIC4.
