>Mark - thanks for your reply. However my problem is that I do not use a Fox Menu. The menu program is my own - reading a menu options file with columns for different languages. There are DOWHAT, WITH, PROCFILE columns to tell the program what to execute. If I generate the Edit menu as you suggest, yes I can see the "_med_copy" system call to copy. But what to do with it I wonder? Perhaps there's a sys(1500) call I can use? Denis

I am confused. I also use my own menu that replaces the VFP system menu. Do you not use commands like define pad, on pad, define popu, define bar, etc to create your menu? If so, look at the generated .MPR file of the quick menu for a list of the commands needed to add this functionality to your menu.
