You *can* specify more than one file at a time in a single 'vim'
instance, and/or hit another file with 'argadd' and add a new file to
the filelist.  From there, you can keep just one window/instance and use
":n" to get to the next file, then next, next, next, etc., then ":rew"
to rewind back to the first file, and so on.  Think ":N" is to switch to
the previous file.  For sure, "^^" (ctl-^) toggles between the current
file and the last one you were editing.

Each time it switches to another file, it'll refresh.

Me personally, I don't like window-splits, so I rarely if ever use that
other'n diffing files, so if that's what you were looking for, someone
else will have to fill you in on details.
