Par2: How an ABC browse is refreshed

If records are being added or updated by another process, to see them you need to flush 
the view then refresh in the timer embed:

flush(Brw1.view)
ThisWindow.Reset(1)

It will be relatively inefficient so if possible define a custom even and post() it to the

browse when it should be refreshed and avoid a timer. Put the above code in the 
embed for when that custom event is received rather than on a timer.
