popup update question

[Fairlight]

Is it just me, or did John Esak say:

That's funny!

But that's a dupicate screen, etc.  If you see my reply to Richard, I think
it might speed things along a bit.  Just my opinion, of course.

I wonder where these instructions where when I asked way back when.  It
would have helped.  Then again, knowing me back then, I probably cheesed
someone off enough that they didn't think I deserved an answer.  :(

Thanks for setting the record straight, in any event.
