Hi David,

It worked fine for me. I put your code - with my revisions - in a program called foo. Here is the calling code:

set proc to foo
o = createobject("form1")
o.show

The following is foo.prg



**************************************************
*-- Form: form1 (c:\development\harris\phone\test.scx)
*-- ParentClass: form
*-- BaseClass: form
*
DEFINE CLASS form1 AS form


Top = 0
Left = 0
Height = 165
Width = 214
Desktop = .T.
ShowWindow = 2
DoCreate = .T.
Caption = "Test Cut/Paste etc"
Name = "Form1"


ADD OBJECT edit1 AS editbox WITH ;
Height = 139, ;
Left = 12, ;
Top = 6, ;
Width = 187, ;
Name = "Edit1"


PROCEDURE Load
PUSH MENU _MSYSMENU

DEFINE BAR _med_paste OF _medit PROMPT "\ KEY CTRL+V, "Ctrl+V" ;

ENDPROC


PROCEDURE Destroy

ENDPROC


ENDDEFINE
