I don't know if it is the real answer.  But I am sure that it is an 
unusual answer.  I don't use any applications that take that approach.  
At first blush, it doesn't seem to provide the master/servant power 
relationship that I want to have with my tools.  Gnucash's UNDO 
capability would needed to be massively improved.
