Paint text etc. Some such messages generate data to be returned to the client. The client can recover it by reading the `data` file. The format of the messages to and from the `data` file will be supplied later.
refresh (read-only)	As windows owned by the client are uncovered, if they cannot be refreshed by the server (e.g., they have refresh functions associated with them), the client is notified by a message `refresh` file. reporting what needs to be repainted by the client. The message has five decimal integers formatted as in the `ctl` message: The image id of the window.
