To that end, what about keylogging every keystroke to a simultaneously open Windows Notepad (which would stay minimized and out of sight). Then, when you hit ctrl-z in XyWrite, that does a control-z in Notepad and replaces the current Xy screen with what Notepad then has.Baroque, yes.

This is essentially what Robert's Undo|Redo does for Xy4, with the
added convenience that it can do the job automatically, in the
background. (It's part of U2.) I also have routine called RD that saves
all or user-selected block deletions to disk. These tools are a pretty
good way of retracing your steps in Xy, but they do not approach the
convenience of Ctrl-Z/Ctrl-Y in Windows. As wonderful as it would be to
have that in Xy, I'm doubtful that it's attainable in a DOS environment
-- though I'd love to be proved wrong.
