unlimited undo's for text fields

DuhFactoid...

How does a mac know it has to start without extensions if you press the
shift key on macos? 

Maybe it's a new feature of osx? ;)) 

This is more a RunRev engine limitation than an OS limitation... First time
I hear such a lame hardware limitation could or would be built in a
"supercomputer" of today! 

There was an external that recorded what key was down? (keys() or whatever
it's called in your compiler is probably one of the most basic calls in any
language to get keyboard input)
