I'm still unsure, but couldn't stand the virtual event trickery so tried a
different sin (adding undo_block_start/stop methods to the Text instance in
EditorWindow.py). Like it or not, it's efficient and works <wink>. Better
idea?
Give the attached a whirl. Even if you hate the implementation, I think
you'll like the results. Think I caught all the "block edit" cmds,
including Format Paragraph, plus subtler ones involving smart indents and
backspacing.
[W]hile trying to dope out how redirection works, stumbled into two
possible glitches. In the first, it doesn't appear to make sense to try to
rename a command that's already been destroyed; in the second, the name
"previous" doesn't really bring to mind "ignore the previous value" <wink>.
meaningful return values: respectively, whether the copy was done, and
the list of files that were copied. This meant some trivial changes in
core.py as well: the Command methods that mirror 'copy_file()' and
'copy_tree()' have to pass on their return values.
of the 'install_py' command rather than 'build_py'. Obviously, this
meant that the 'build_py' and 'install_py' modules had to change; less
obviously, so did 'install' and 'build', since these higher-level
commands must make options available to control the lower-level
commands, and some compilation-related options had to migrate with the
code.

is assumed background material for the remainder of the manual.
That's needed for terminology if nothing else!

fixes a rendering problem on IE5.
General adjustments to the table* environments, including using
<thead> and <tbody>. Attempt to adjust the vertical alignment of the
table cells so that the baseline of the first cell matches the
baseline of the remaining cells: When the first cell is small and the
second cell of the same row is multi-line, the first cell was
vertically centered by default. Specifying valign=baseline fixes the
problem on IE, but Netscape seems to ignore both valign=top and
valign=baseline (even though valign is NS's fault!). Make the
horizontal alignment of 'p' columns left instead of center (for the
headings).
