[Info-vax] Does EVE (or EDIT/TPU) have an undo command?

Can't find it. Apologies if I missed it somehow.

In EDT there actually is a workaround, but it's not pretty: 

*QUIT/SAVE

Open the journal file in EDT. Press ESC and then the defined key you regret you pressed for each such key to see what its translation is. Delete that. Delete your goof(s) at the bottom and exit.

Then open your file again in EDT, but this time with the /RECOVER qualifier.

Yeah, pretty clumsy, but it works! 

Is there anything like this for EVE or TPU or whatever? An actual built-in UNDO command or some workaround like the above? (Apologies if I missed it somewhere.)

And yes, EVE's QUIT "Are you sure . . . ?" bit is pretty good. as QUIT in EDT can be ruinous.

Just curious. Please, let's not start an editor war. I already know EVE/TPU/LSE and other whiz-bang editors have lots of stuff EDT doesn't. I know. I acknowledge it. I am not claiming otherwise. I am asking ONLY about UNDO capability. Thanks!
