Several posters have recently commented on Jonathon Payne's (author of
Jove) assertion as to the ease of implementing Undo, yet the most recent
version of Jove I have been able to find (v 4.14) has no Undo/Redo feature
implemented. Is there a newer version (optimally already ported to the
PC environ) that does have this ability?

I would also be interested in recommendations/pointers/commentary on and
to any other editors that are:

freely available,
configurable/extensible (macros and key-bindings),
portable (source code avail)
large-scale (disk-limited file size, etc.)
have Undo feature (true keystroke undo, not just kill/yank, line restore, etc)
have Folding feature (optional)

and have or could be ported without gross difficulty to the PC/DOS
environment (Crisp & GnuEmacs could not be last I checked).

Many thanks for any information.
