When I said I hit delete, I meant I hit the delete icon (trash can).
I must have hit the lower trash can that time. They really should
make the distinction more clear in the user interface --both trash
cans are next to the field with a hilited line. In any case I tried
it again, and sure enough, the undo does not undo a delete of the
property set. Then I quit Rev and it did not ask if I wanted to
save. Lots of cracks in the IDE.

When editing properties, I'd suggest never using the delete key at
all. Use the trash can icons instead.
Important: use the UPPER trash can to delete single properties, use
the LOWER trash can to delete property sets. The Delete key is just
too vague sometimes with multiple hilites all over the place.

I hate to break in here, but just 10 minutes ago, I wanted to
delete a custom property from a field. I selected the property in
the inspector (it was the first one and it was highlighted), I hit
delete, return (did not read the "are you sure" box very
carefully) and every custom property was deleted. I went
immediately to the Edit menu and the undo was available, so I
selected it. None of my custom properties were restored, but the
field was still there. I had to revert to last saved. When I
actually try to delete more than one custom property at a time, I
can't even select more than one.
Perhaps I did something wrong (operator error), but I can not
figure out what it could have been. I have noticed that the IDE
has a tough time doing the focus right. For instance, I can
select the doc window, click in the find field --it is outlined,
then start typing, only to look up and see that nothing is being
typed into the field. I have to click on it again before it
works. This has happened also in my stacks. What gives?
