Code:
        check_comments()
            src << browse('comments.txt', "comments")


Problem description:

src << browse(file('comments.dmi'),"window=name")//this makes it pop-up.

Remember to use the file() proc when accessing files.

Comments.dmi makes no sense

Whatever I wasn't thinking, the point is, use the file() proc to access files.

How can I show the updated version?

Single quotes tell it that it's looking for a file already, file is usually only used when the file that you're looking for isn't clear at the time, it doesn't exist while compiling (created in-game at some point or something), or some situation like that.

Anyway, you didn't really specify a problem, so I'll just make some assumtions.

1) The file doesn't exist and you get an error.
2) There's no information in the file.
3) You're using custom interfaces, your browser hasn't been configured correctly.
4) Something else.

Also, as for your other question, the information being displayed isn't updated in real time.
You'll have to tell it to send the information again if you made changes and want them to appear.
