Abstract
The combination of command history and history management functions provides a powerful adjunct to a reversible computing environment in which earlier versions of a command history can be easily edited and new versions can be built upon existing primitives. A reversible painting system illustrates the construction of one such environment which is based upon the integration of history management, reversible execution and a simple, but appropriate, application system.
