The difference is minor -- update is sent to an already existing form,
while open is sent only to a form being drawn the first time.
For most apps, the distinction can be ignored.
Actually, come to think of it, if you're being updated it might be because
a dialog is going away and the whole form window needs to be erased anyway,
so I guess it really doesn't help in this case. Some bit of code still
needs to erase the form window, even on an update, and you don't want to
draw before that happens. Sorry for the confusion.
