Re: Undo in CL

[Jeff Young <jyoung0950@xxxxxxxxx>]

The only way I can see that happening is if you made your changes to each
command then used the mouse/arrow down/across keys to get to the next
command etc until you were done, then instead of using the ENTER key or
Saving the member, you walked away, then came back and did the Ctl-Z.
Since the original changes were only made on the screen and not saved in
the "buffer", the undo would have had the effect described.
