It doesn't keep track of the keystrokes you type (as far as I know), just
the NUMBER of keystrokes you type. That would not help make undoing any
easier. Besides, the CPU is pretty limited, I'm sure. We're talking
early-to-mid-80's dedicated word processor here (possibly earlier).
I found out about that feature by looking in a third-party manual, BTW. It
had a screen shot with a field labeled "number of keystrokes".

This is most likely for an "undo" feature. Sounds like some pretty
powerful mechanism is in place actually. To actually store keystrokes
implies that perhaps after closing down an application and re-running it
you still have the ability to undo changes.
