Replication is what copies changes that you make on one DC to the other DC's in your AD. It is supposed to happen automatically. Are there any errors in the event logs on the DC's? There is a "File Replication Service" event log, where you may see errors reported...

Like I said, I'm not a system administrator, but have now been thrust into the role, simply because the real system admin quit, and now I'm stuck with it. Someone else suggested that there might be a problem with something called replication. It sounds to me as though this replication thing is supposed to happen automatically. If that is the case, then why would I need to do a manual refresh? And if it isn't the case, then what's replication for, in the first place?
