>I can't copy something in a textbox of my application and paste it. I get a little square. Why is this?

As an addendum to what Bruce told you, if you don't want to have a visible Edit menu, you can just define the popup in code and get the capabilities like this:

DEFINE POPUP Edit
DEFINE BAR _MED_CUT OF Edit PROMPT "Cut" KEY CTRL+X
DEFINE BAR _MED_COPY OF Edit PROMPT "Copy" KEY CTRL+C
DEFINE BAR _MED_PASTE OF Edit PROMPT "Paste" KEY CTRL+V
