As Adrian found too, this doesn't work.  I found the *only* way
to get a modified inset to update *at all* was to click on the
inset itself.  The Update References method may actually do an
update of *xrefs* to/from the inset; I didn't check that part.
But it did nothing for the modified inset content itself...

The docs for FM6+SGML 6 suggest that the "automatic" update is
done automatically only when FM is opening the container file;
when "manual" update is checked, it doesn't do even that.  Also,
this automatic update can be suppressed both from the Update
References dialog and from the containing *book* file... A few 
pages later (p. 406) this remarkably poor doc claims that the
Update References method *will* "manually update multiple
insets in a document".  Has anyone using FM6 found this to
work in reality?  (I haven't tested it yet on FM 5.5.6.)
