One of those things about other kind of "do" and "undo"! 1) With the current frontEnd, one can ""undo" only once. But perhaps next version... 2) Some users can "do" nothing to upgrade. But perhaps next marketing responsible... Yes, I am still stuck in version 5.0 because y moved from USA to Europe after having moved from Europe to USA before. Originally, my license comes from Europe, since the version 2.xx times, back in 1996, I think remember. I upgraded in Spain from versions 2.x.x to version 3.0, and then to version 4.0; directly over the USA Wolfram web site (all right). Then, I upgraded in Houston (Texas) to version 4.1 and 4.2; directly over the USA web site (all right again). No problem at all about licenses numbers and customer addresses. But, back in Spain again, a) I cannot upgrade because the Wolfram USA web site recognizes my license number as valid, but refuses my European Address. b) The Wolfram European Web site says that my license number is not valid. (Not a clue why). c) The Spanish distributors do not care (I have emails proving this assertion). d) Wolfram global customer care(?), itself, does not care either. (I have emails proving this assertion.) So, policies are above (not about) customers. Is it not Kafkian? E.

It is one of the most aggravating limitations of the current FrontEnd implementation.

It has only one undo level, but even using it, makes Mathematica unstable and in less then 10 seconds it crashes. Because of this... I crashed it many times -- Murray Eisenberg murray at math.umass.edu Mathematics & Statistics Dept.
