CTRL-Z is called Undo.

I 'think' whatever was undone would still be in the Clipboard.

There may be a similar utility in Linux like the  Clipboard Viewer at
c:\Windows\system32\ clipbrd.exe on the XP box here.

I have used a Ubuntu CD several times to take a look see at how U'u works.
U'u is an abbreviation that Jean Parrot used in the FIDO  Windows echo many
years ago used when talking about Ubuntu there.

I never installed U'u, only ran it off the CD.

Also tried looking at MINT the same way.
I like Linux a bit but never got to wanting to Dual Boot it.

I started using C=64 BASIC,  then played with MS-DOS 2.11 on a XT at work.
XT BASIC looked fairly similar to what I did on the Commodore 64 so I played a
bit with it on that XT machine since several Books that came with it helped me
to learn about it.

I never learned much about Assembly Language or Machine Code.
I read a lot but it wasn't as easy to learn as BASIC, DOS & Bat Files were.
And what I know is just the basic things.

About the most complicated BASIC code that I have written was for a program
that printed Labels on the computer at Church.

The older program was used with a Tractor Feed Dot Matrix printer.
 It printed one label at a time.
When a Ink Jet printer replaced the older printer, labels could be printed on
Letter Size paper sheets (can't recall if that paper has 3 labels across the
sheet or 5 of them).
Anyway, the new program on the Church computer had output meant for the old
printer that wasn't used anymore, so I wrote a BASIC program to print the first
line to each of three labels, the second line and so on .

The code which caused my wrist, elbow and shoulder to hurt when I pat myself on
my back is this:

CLS
FOR b = 0 TO 2
FOR a = 0 TO 4
INPUT a$(b, a)
NEXT
NEXT
FOR a = 0 TO 4
FOR b = 0 TO 2
PRINT a$(b, a),
NEXT
PRINT
NEXT


I was proud to make that computer go loop-a - dee - loop to print whole sheets
of labels back then 

My little program was used one time a year, for a couple of years.Afterwards
the Church got a newer PC system with another program that did more than the
little routine I wrote.
