[G4] Jag Bug

[k s d]

hmmm... Did this message post 3 times?
If so, sorry - I'm not receiving my
sent messages and assumed they haven't
been going through.

Well, in the case I explained, I had
already erased the CDRW before I had
accidently hit CMD-Z.
The Finder Undo is not a good feature
if it can't be redone, IMO.
