I'm starting to spend more time working on building a simple module to get
the change of things. I'm keeping it very simple now.
OpenERP(7) is running on a linux box. I'm on a Windows machine, and SSHing
into the Linux box to make my changes to the files with
a text editor in the shell.

I have the directory where I have my module mapped to in
"openerp-server.conf", I can see my module listed in "Installed Modules"
list.  So that's not
a problem.
Now the issue I have is making changes to my *.py and *.xml. I see that
they aren't updated in the new menu I created, I have found that I need to
always go back to the Settings and UPDATE my model. But issues I have is
that sometimes that doesn't update my changes and it's also time consuming
going back and
forth to force the update. And sometimes the changes don't even appear.

Now the question is, is this the correct procedure? Is there a proper way
to make changes to the module and see them in OE in a quicker manner? Do I
have to flush a cache
to see my changes even though I have forced a UPDATE they don't appear in
my new menu.
