None of the sample code that comes with QB shows an Undo implimentation. I thought maybe FracApp would show me, but Undo seems to be handled by MacApp (gee, if I only had MacApp...). Soooo... This is the first time I've ever tried to do a Macintosh program, but I *have* had plenty of experience with Pascal on "simple" platforms (I'm not an *expert*, mind you, but I know it pretty well). Could someone give me some Pascal or even pseudocode that would show me how to impliment a simple Undo? Puh-leease?! What an intro to Mac programming! I don't mean to offend the folks from Microsoft, but you simply can't do a professional implimentation in QB! QB is great for a quick hack if all you know is BASIC, but don't expect too much if you try to take it further. I heard that learning to program the Mac was a steep learning curve but whoever said that was an optimist! Learning *cliff* is more like it... Well, thanks in advance for the help. Pray that I can get this done quickly so I can start learning Think C... Blake -- ******************************************************** * Blake "Hey, where's *MY* fancy .signature?"
