You can use this technique to write a function that makes  
refreshers.  Even though this case is almost trivial, it makes sense  
to write one function with the details so that the rest of the  
program is more naturally readable.  Suppose you have a canvas for a  
score, a canvas for the arena, and a canvas for player-info...

(define  (make-refresher canvas)
   (lambda  ()
     (send canvas refresh)))

(define  refresh-score  (make-refresher score-canvas))
(define  refresh-arena  (make-refresher arena-canvas))
(define  refresh-player (make-refresher player-canvas))
