◊ QuickRedraw is a freeware Control Panel that lets you force the current application to redraw either the front window (with or without erasing it first) or the whole screen (with or without the menu bar). It's often useful to get rid of all the garbage that many programs, including Finder 7 and Word 5, leave on their windows. QuickRedraw also lets you restore the default colors on all screens; this can be useful when an application modifies the system color palette and doesn't restore it upon exit.
◊ QuickRedraw only uses about 2K of system memory.
• Installation
◊ Move the QuickRedraw control panel to your Control Panels folder (inside the System folder) and restart your Macintosh. Use the control panel to set your preferred key combinations and to turn the startup icon on or off.
