Hi Frank,

Following is the script of the Edit button from revMenubar.rev:

on menuPick which
   global gREVChunkStore, gREVUndoList
   switch which
   case "Undo"

       if line -1 of gREVUndoList is "width" then

           put item 1 to -2 of l into tObject
           if there is a tObject then set the width of tObject to item -1 of l
         end repeat
       else
         delete last line of gREVUndoList
         repeat for each line l in gREVUndoList
           put item 1 to -2 of l into tObject
           if there is a tObject then set the height of tObject to item -1 of l
         end repeat
