What is displayed now, is
        Undo    C-_
you click on it, and it does an undo.

As long as you have Emacs on a gui system, you can grab the code from
news://gnu.emacs.sources
It's small, easy and safe.

This code sounds fine, but here are some issues:
1) I used spaces between "Undo" and "C-_". Makes alignment of "C-_" not
so good.
2) The menu is hard coded. Here's where this can be a problem:

User binds C-z to undo
User binds C-_ to underline text
User saves the above into .emacs, and gives it to User2.

User2 uses menu to undo an error, which works nicely.
User2 notices keyboard shortcut for undo is C-_, as menu claims
User2 tries keyboard shortcut, but it "doesn't work", it just underlines 
text!
Support calls roll in.
