Is there a line command in XP which can be issued and which would
undelete the last file that got deleted?

Commandline? Anything deleted from the command line does NOT go to the
recycle bin. If you are in the Windows Explorer, CTRL-Z is undo.

you likely need
to use a file
recovery program
like "recuva" or
similar....

No. If it's not in the recycle bin stop using the computer and then
download and run a couple of the free data recovery utilities.

The scenario is this....

in XP and delete a file. Perhaps I do it in an application similar to
Win Exlorer su as Acdsee. CTRL+Z fails to work.

So rather than isse line commands I could write a shortcut which drops
control to XP's line entry screen, issue a restire command, amd then
return.

No, there is no command line command to undelete a file. Try something like
Undelete which has a recovery bin where all deleted files are kept, so they
can be undeleted. It works well.

Please understand Windows does NOT have undelete capabilities. It can
only "restore" something from the Recycle Bin. ONLY files "deleted" from
Windows Explorer and sent to the Recycle bin may be "restored/undeleted"
with Windows features. Any other way you delete a file is unrecoverable
by Windows commands, command line or otherwise. You MUST use a 3rd party
software to recover them.
