I really want to read the paper that describes "undo"

"You know what you just did, if you hit this command, it like... 'un-does' it."

Man in 1970 the beta version of undo was moving the little wooden peg back to the other side of the abacus.

This thread is the exact opposite of the lathe in the living room. All expectation - zero payoff.

Hey question for you. I was telling some friends that you were the creator of undo. I seem to remember you having a little plaque/award for this? They asked if you were also the creator of redo? I'd like to think so but.. Anything you could tell me about this?

Yes. Both Undo and Redo were described in a paper I wrote about 1970.

Well that wasn't as nearly as amusing as I hoped.

Got a link to that paper, or the name of it? I think there's some sort of "web-site" that looks for things on the internet if you type in its name.

Dids, it must be a lot longer than that. He had to explain "redo" also.

Imagine the next sentence that describes redo. "We could also have a command that 'undoes' the 'undo.' An 'un-undo' so to speak."
