In article <1592@hjuxa.UUCP>, mal@hjuxa.UUCP (Michael Leach) writes of
his problems with the undo command in MKS VI.  Now, I believe him.  Heaven
knows how many clearly genuine customer problems I've heard, that I
couldn't reproduce in the lab (without days of testing, or at all), or
how many I've reported to vendors that they couldn't reproduce.  (He
doesn't say if he's using the stand-alone MKS VI, or the MKS Toolkit, or
what version he has, or what version of DOS and what TSR's and device
drivers were running, all of which I'd consider significant.)  If
Michael continues to have problems, I encourage him to continue to
(politely) bother MKS technical support.

For the record:  My copy (MKS Toolkit 2.2d) has never given me any
problem with undo.  (The ! operator doesn't seem too swift, but I've
never bothered to report the problems I've seen, and I'm two versions
behind anyway.)  I have nothing to do with MKS, except as a satisfied
customer at home.
