script for redo/undo text?

[Sean Cole (Pi)]

Curry,

Hehe, you are, of course, right and I'd be inclined to do it the 'non' way
too.

In simple terms, in the 'non' way you only store the changes (like SVC)
rather than the whole field. But it's far harder to explain in detail and
infinitesimally so when you think about the many possible scenarios your
text goes through while editing - and then thinking about it you realise
you've only thought about the top of the iceberg that's sitting above the
water.

(Is that your thinking too, Curry, or did you have an even better way in
mind)

Oh, the headache has started again. I'm going back to my HTML5 {slightly}
less painfull headaches. :)
