File associations in Panther

[Thomas McGrath III]

Actually I have this same problem with windows xp.
I have to close a folder (or go up one level) and then reopen it to see 
the 'correct' version of my rev standalones every time I build a new 
one.
When I update my OSX standalones they are updated once the the folder 
window is brought to the front or is already open (after a slight 
delay)

NMEH (not my experience here)

FWIW
