The version of MKS VI I have has bugs.  The (u)ndo command leaves
the cursor in very strange positions in the file, usually on a different
page.  It's such a pain in the neck that the (u)ndo command is useless!
As I remember the first time you use it it works fine, but if you undo
a second change, it will put the cursor at the location of the first
change, as do all subsequent (u)ndos.

I wrote to MKS several months ago and reported this bug.  I got mail
back from Lynn Conway telling me she was able to reproduce it.

I never have gotten back any response from MKS as to whether or not the
bug has been fixed. 

In my documentation for MKS, it mentions that if you report a valid
bug in their software, they will give you the fixed version for free.
I have seen no evidence that they honor that claim.  I have sent mail
to Chris Retterath at MKS asking him about it, He does not answer my mail!
