The only thing I could suggest is to rename the name of your POPUP from "edit" to something else. It may be getting turned off because it's the same name as the standard edit menu. Sorry I didn't notice that before. If that doesn't work, it may be related to Top Level forms or something.

This worked for me:

DEFINE POPUP myedit MARGIN RELATIVE SHADOW COLOR SCHEME 4
DEFINE BAR _MED_CUT OF myedit PROMPT "Cut" ;
KEY CTRL+T, "Ctrl+T"
DEFINE BAR _MED_COPY OF myedit PROMPT "Copy" ;
KEY CTRL+Y, "Ctrl+Y"
DEFINE BAR _MED_PASTE OF myedit PROMPT "Paste" ;
KEY CTRL+E, "Ctrl+E"
x=createobject('form')
x.addobject('f1','textbox')
x.f1.visible=.t.
x.show(1)
RELEASE POPUP myedit


Note that I renamed the popup to "myedit" (and the define bars) and changed the hotkey to the last letter so you can see that it works.

If it doesn't, then maybe Top Level comes into play.
