The undo is still there, only it's command key is gone. Now you have to go
into the Edit menue and select "undelete". A real hassle! Anyone know how to
associate a command-key with this again?

I fixed this. Totally trivial. Just open Edit.nib and put the "z" back onto
the end of the MenuCell item. If you click in the space where the other
command chars are on "Undelete" it will let you type it in.

You can always use the Keyboard Alternatives box in Preferences. Any
application with the menu string "undelete" can be given Command-z (for
example). It will override other Command-z options if there are
conflicts, though.
