The undo in VI is only one level.  Useful, but hardly noteworthy.  To be truely
usefull, you should be able to undo an arbitrary number of actions ( including
the undos themselves ).  As of yet, I haven't seen this in any editors
except Emacs (the real one) and a custom editor I worked on during a co-op
work term a year ago.  I don't know what kind of undo Mike is talking about.
( I haven't seen the product ).

Of course, in the near future, multi-level undo will be available in my
favourite Amiga editor ...

Stay tuned for details ...
