Re: [jornada] [with repl. ROM] Refreshing the Screen

Peter,

Just in case you are not aware........

I think that your script is great for putting up an image
while the screen stablilizes.

If you just want to refresh the screen, run 'xrefresh' and
the screen comes back looking pretty good.

Thanks for all the contributions!
