Glad you like it.

It's called  "Undo Make Editable" because the "Make Editable" is 
implemented as an override of what you have selected in the Session 
Properties.  If we called it "Make Read-only" or some such, then if your 
session properties were set to "Editable Table", you would expect to be 
able to temporarilly set the table to read-only by selecting that item 
in the menu, and that's not how the code is currently designed.

As for a check-type menu, I suppose it could have been built that way. 
It didn't occur to me because I already had the menu item for "Make 
Editable".  I was able to piggy-back the "Undo" on the existing 
mechanism by generalizing it just a bit, so reusing the existing code 
seemed the best way to go.

Of course, if a check-type menu is important to you, the code IS open 
source! :-)
