>What I really want to do is have "CUT" and "PASTE" available in my program, but I don't want a menu at the top of my screen. Those "in-the-know" tell me that I should use the "EDIT" portion of the menu setup program that includes Cut and Paste. It works great, but I have a menu at the top of my screen. If I use the "HIDE MENU" command, it tells me that I did not create it with "DEFINE MENU" and it won't work. Do you know of anyway to get the function of "CUT" and "PASTE" without using the MENU BUILDER and issuing a "DO MENU.MPR"?

Well, you actually don't have to have the menu at all. You can do it all in the KeyPress method of a control (EditBox or TextBox):

case nKeyCode ...(crtl+x)
_cliptext=this.SelText
this.SelText=""
Case (ctrl+c)
_cliptext=this.SelText
Case (ctrl+v)
this.SelText= _cliptext
Case....

Just like that. No need for menus.
