Bernard --

Since none of my keyboard shortcuts are working, I tried your #2 first. I put "clear macros" immediately before DO MyMenu.MPR. No changee; function keys still have no effect.

Any other suggestions?

>>I have a menu (using MODIFY MENU) to replace the system menu in my application. This menu, through some forgotten magic, becomes part of my top-level form.
>>
>>I have two questions; I assume the answers are related:
>>1) Cut/Copy/Paste (Ctrl-XCV) don't work, presumably because they do not appear in my menu. How do I add them?
>>2) I'd put some items in that have shortcuts (F2, F3, etc), which are listed when I dropdown the menu. However, pressing the indicated function keys do nothing. What am I missing?

>1. To add Cut/copy/paste the easiest is to create a new mwnu and before doing anything else select Menu/QuickMenu. Then open the EDIT section and use the definitions there in your menu.
