A lot of the previous posts went right over my head, but I got the gist.
If I change my Undo size to zero, then reset it to say 1000, do I make any significant difference to anything? 
It removes my restore points, but is that significant, if I'm happy with the prog to taat point?

Set it to zero and you can't undo anything.

Set it to 1000MB and you'll probably never have an issue, as that stores several hundred undoes, in most cases.

So, it is safe to delete Undo.bin from \qb64pe\settings?

One of my undoes increased to 500MB and I believe it was slowing down the IDE with a project of +50K lines!?

What I meant was, If I change my Undo size to zero, then IMMEDIATELY, reset it to say 1000, is this like flushing the Undo?
(and if so, could this maybe be built into an optional command?) 
If I'm happy with the prog to that point, would this be a reasonable option?

No, no, no! You flush the Doo-doo, not the Undo. Kids these days... Rolleyes

I had to test this just to be certain, but it does indeed work like that. (Though 10 is the minimal size.)

Change size to 10, save it... The old undo file gets erased and blanked.
Change it back to 1000, it's still a zero byte file.

I don't really see the point in flushing the undo file though. I've never really noticed where it's affected performance one way or another, regardless of size.
