I must be missing something here.  V4 and S3 both have an Edit.Recall
command, which I assume you are aware of.  It is easy to pull the
mouse down when doing a MR - ML which deletes some extra
text, if that is what you are talking about.
For me, this is the most annoying thing that there is in the Oberon
interface. I still have not adapted to avoid this problem so I have the
Edit.Recall button in the menu bar in V4 where I can get it easily.
