I've spent a lot of time dealing with the intricacies of Undo in recent 
weeks, as I'm adding Undo throughout a rather complex app.  You're 
right, it ain't simple. :)

But as far as the engine goes, deletion of objects when the pointer tool 
is active should be completely undoable.  I just tried a few deletions 
in both Rev and MC and they worked fine.

If you can find a recipe for that, please add it to the notes on this 
Undo anomaly I discovered:

While dirt simple for the user, implementing Undo is a special form of 
hell for developers.  Hopefully with a little assistance we can pin down 
any anomalies and move it closer to perfection.
