After reading people's gripes and new ideas about improving the
Macintosh finder interface.  I would like to have some input as well.

All the ideas are wonderful!  However, I would like to suggest some
minor improvements to the finder.  "UNDO"!  The "UNDO" command has been
in the Edit menu for a long time ( I don't know in which verson of
finder apple started to include it ), but even in the most recent
System Upgrade 6.0, UNDO only works with CUT/COPY/PASTE.  Ahh, I think
UNDO should be more useful than this.

Please apple, let me UNDO for the following operations:

     o   Resizing, dragging the window
     o   New folder
     o   Dragging application(s)/file(s) from one folder to another
(regardless of the heirarchy), from desktop to another folder or vice
versa
     o   Dragging appl(s)/file(s) to Trash Can (before EMPTY TRASH)

All these are small things that I can UNDO them manually, however I
like a program that gives user flexibility.

It would be really nice if I can UNDO the following:

     o   Empty Trash
     o   Set Startup
     o   Change the memory size with Get Info
     o   Lock/unlock an appl/file

Am I hoping for a little too much ?  Oh well, apple may even be working
on it right now, who knows !

All responses are welcome!
