It is a dll that enables Undo/Redo within the .NET Framework. It works with any .NET object including web applications. Hope this helps.

This made me realize how some of my websites are not “undo” friendly. The power of the breadcrumb was great, but realizing that my logo is the home button was another. Would love to see more posts on subjects like this. Cheers!

I completely agree with you that the digital world is an unfamiliar and scary place for most people, even today. But one of the great advantages to digital devices that have no direct equivalent in the real world is undo.
I use undo as a designer (in my graphics editing programs), as a web surfer (via the back button, breadcrumbs, etc.) and as a TV watcher (via my DVR’s rewind button). And every so often, for an instant I’ll contemplate undoing something in real life, before realizing that it’s not that easy.

You really know your stuff on usability. I think breadcrumb trails are very effective, and due to forum software they are no longer a mystery to users. I’ll have a dig around in your archives and see what other goodies I can dig up.
