Dave,
Found the problem, I needed to add
SET SYSMENU AUTO

My config.fpw file had
SYSMENU=off
for some reason...probably leftovers.
After this change, all is well.

Your edit command problem may be different though. Did you start with the Foxpro menu and edit it down to size? That's the easiest way I've found.

Also, the edit menu items are only available when certain types of controls have focus, like the textbox.
