Richard, I'm sure you've already thought of this, but why not create a 
number of customProps in a customPropSet:

fwUndo["fred",1]
fwUndo["fred",2]
etc..

where 'fred' refers to a field name and the number refers to the last 
change made.

Then each time a close field is sent to the "fred" fld, store the 
htmlText of the field in the appropriate customProp. Then it's a simple 
matter to find the highest number and 'undo' to the htmlText of it.

StripAndShip will kill the whole property set.

I'm sure you already thought of this, but thought I'd mention it anyway.
