I think they are important enough to be mentioned in the manual. I'd like to move their documentation to a different place in the manual, but I am not sure where. Can anyone suggest a good place? I think they're in the right place. Move them to a subnode of `Undo', perhaps. Options affecting a feature are usually mentioned along with the feature. Otherwise, if you want Basics to just be a Getting Started section, then cover just a tiny bit on undo in Basics and have the complete doc of undo elsewhere. In that case, do likewise for all of Basics: treat it as a Getting Started section in all respects. In any case, wherever undo is documented completely is where these options should be documented.
