  9. More about multiple-level Undo:
  10.  
  11. At the MacWorld Expo last week, I saw an application that changed the Edit menu
  12. in an interesting way. Imaginge the user does this:
  13.  
  14. 1. Type something.
  15. 2. Undo the typing
  16. 3. Draw something.
  17.  
  18. The Edit menu now reads:
  19.  
  20.     Undo drawing
  21.     Redo typing
  22.     -----------
  23.     Cut
  24.     Copy
  25.     Paste
  26.  
  27. In this way, the user can Redo the Undone typing, or Undo the last drawing. Up
  28. to eight levels of Undo were supported.  Very interesting.
  29.  
  30. Of course, the Edit menu would be set back to normal when a Desk Accessory were
  31. activated.
