You can compare this to undo functionality in text editors. Emacs works similarly to how you expected Lojban to work: if you undo something in Emacs, you can always undo the undoing. In Lojban, you can't undo undoing and there is no automatic redo. -- Daniel Brockman daniel@brockman.se To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
