This is actually two questions that are closely related.

1) The system menu is will documented. I would like to use the edit menu selection's cut and paste options from within my program on edit boxes and such. I have replaced the entire system menu with the menu for my program. When I attempt to do this the edit menu selection shows up but it is disabled. I know I've done this before but long ago.

2) Along the same lines. I would like to be able to exit a form/prg etc. and have the system menu remain as it was when the menu selection was made. My program is very large and when returning from a selection the menu is back at the main line at the top causing the user to have to go 3-4 levels deep to get back to the area they were working on when they just wanted to get to the next selection.

I believe that to solve both problems I only need to have a prg that will run to the proper menu selection.

I do not use the menu builder. My menu is built from a dbf that also controls security and also allows me to add modules by turning selections on. (They are skipped over during the menu build and not included if the user has not paid for the extra options.)

As usual, many thanks for the help.
