Not sure what you're trying to tell me here. I've tried using "Clear Macros", to no effect.

>>>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.
>>>
>>>eg for Copy:
>>>
>>>Prompt = \>>>Result = Bar #
>>>Menuitem = _med_copy
>>>
>>>Click the small button under Options:
>>>Propmt Options Dialog Box:
>>>
>>>Key Label = CTRL+C
>>>Key Text = CTRL+C
>>>Message = "Copies the selection onto the Clipboard"
>>>Picture
>>>Select Resource radio button
>>>value of text box = _med_copy
>>>
>>>This will give you Copy. Similar for Cut/Paste.
>>>
>>>2. The reason your F2/F3 etc keys don't work from the menu is because you have Macros associated with those keys. Macros take precedence over shortcut keys.
>>>
>>>Just before you DO MyMenu.MPR place this code:
>>>
>>>CLEAR MACROS
>>>
>>>Your Menu shortcut keys will now work both in the IDE and the EXE.

>>>HTH.
