[grc] More mysteries in Audacity

First, if anyone learns that it's been updated to work with Mac OS
Catalina, please let me know. I'm opening the old version from the
terminal, by typing or pasting this in:
open /Applications/Audacity.app/Contents/MacOS/Audacity

In the meantime, can anyone tell me how to undo an envelope if creating it
wasn't the last thing you did. (In which case you can go to "Edit" in the
menu bar and choosing "Undo Envelope."  I have been accidentally creating
envelopes without knowing how. It doesn't seem to matter unless I further
manipulate the envelope, but it's annoying.  I may not have this problem
again, because I've now figured out that I can select "Undo Envelope" under
edit when I accidentally create an envelope by scrolling over the icon with
the line through it:

However, I still wonder whether there's a way to undo it even if creating
it is not the last thing you did.

The majority of problems I have with Audacity and computers in general
occur when I accidentally trigger some action and then can't figure out how
to undo it. This problem was named "featuritist"—more features than anyone
can use and quite a few one can trip over—when it first appeared.
