You should be able to use the KEYBOARD command to emulate the keystrokes for the repsective menu item's shortcut keys.

KEYBOARD '{CTRL+C}'
KEYBOARD '{CTRL+V}'

>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 don't think this is possible, without again resorting to KEYBOARD commands to simulate the user using the shortcut keys to open the menus back up. Eeeuw.
