Now I see. I think. Indeed you don't need fancy undo stuff for that. Just save all choices in a temp. variable, and let the user play around with it. Make sure to reset depending properties when certain choices are changed. Than only after a "Are you sure?" and "Are you really really sure?" you save those temps in the character and let the play begin.

Hope this helps,

    Exactly. What I'm looking for is a Way to Do the core program loop, so that completing a given character aspect goes down a step, and selecting 'back' takes you up a step, producing a new temporary flavour of the previous option which will ultimately replace the previous choice. (Note that while most computer RPGs use this kind of structure, the 3e character generator on the CD with the Player's Handbook doesn't, and I dislike it the more as a consequence. (Names are locked in first, believe it or not. Doh!))
