<div>I'm reading the book "Smalltalk-80 The Interactive
Programming Environment". I understand this is an old book and
much of what it describes is different in Cuis Smalltalk.
Section 23.4 titled "Creating a Clean System" discusses a way
to condense the changes file so it only contains a comment. Is
there a way to do that in Cuis Smalltalk?</div>
