The simple answer to this question would seem to be: Use the menu,  
Browser->Reload, or Cmd-u.  However, I have noticed some odd behavior  
in this regard, myself.  I regularly run OmniWeb by proxy over a  
phone line.  If I have the phone connnection up and running, so that  
my copy of OmniWeb has access to an http server, then everything  
works fine.  Things don't work so fine if I start up Omniweb without  
making the phone call.  In that case, if I double click on a .html  
file on my standalone machine, it comes up in Omniweb, but if I make  
some changes in the html source and then try reload the changed file,  
it's no good.  The changes don't show up. I have to kill and restart  
OmniWeb to see my changes.
