Yeah, this really is OT but I'll take a shot anyway... what happens when
you hit F5? Does the directory listing go blank and then reappear? This
would indicate that it actually is refreshing. If it's not doing this,
you probably need to go to the view menu and select the refresh choice
from there... even if it is exhibiting the above behaviour, I would try
going directly to the menu choice.
Other than that I don't know what to tell you.
