+ </strong><em>The alignment will be displayed in plain text in a new

+ This will undo any edits you make to the alignment. This applies to

+ <li><strong>Redo (Control Y)<br>
+ </strong><em>Any actions which you undo can be redone using redo. </em></li>

+ <li><strong>Pad Gaps<br>
+ </strong><em>When selected, the alignment will be kept at minimal width

+ residue) and all sequences will be padded with gap characters to the
+ before and after their terminating residues.<br>
+ This switch is useful when making a tree using unaligned sequences and
