This is the Observer design pattern, in which one object (in this case 
the transcript logger) registers itself as a dependent of another 
object (in this case the Transcript). When the Transcript flushes its 
bytes, it notifies its dependents (any Transcript windows, plus our 
transcript logger(s)) of this change by calling #changed: .
The dependents have their method #update: called with a Symbol which 
denotes what changed.

Look at the attached change set.
