Re: refresh+update on macosx

Hi Eric,

Firstly, I rather like the ->{TERM} idea of your application. The 
concept has a sort of retro feel to it.  Very cool. I might try to build 
something using this idea.  (I'd really like Linux smartphone with a 
just a command prompt on it!  I'd type "call somebody" and it would dial 
the number.  Has a very "post Snowden" feel to it.)

Yes, it's true.  I had a number of bugs because Wx::Timer started 
running again.

You should probably do a

      $addTxtBtn->Disable();

after the click.

In fact, you probably wouldn't need the Yield(), if you had a Wx::Timer 
running and doing the work for you.

Have fun,
