Have you tried using the REFRESH parameter/setting? According to the definition: SET REFRESH specifies how often R:BASE refreshes a form or the Data Browser, and displays current data. It also automatically recalculates lower tables in forms. Specify zero to turn the setting off. When REFRESH is set off, R:BASE tells you of edits when you save or delete a row. The interval can be set to 10 to 65535 seconds, with the default value being 0 (off???)

In R:base I think you will need to hard code the form writing the data to the screen, putting it in a loop to keep checking the data every few seconds, and writing it to the screen as it changes. I don't think you will be able to use an R:base form to automatically refresh the information on the screen w/o any intervention.
