It's a little more involved than it was in VFP. There are methods on textboxes for doing this (MyTextBox.Cut(), MyTextBox.Copy(), etc.). In the Click Eventhandler on your Menu, you need to drill down through your Container controls to the ActiveControl and if it's a text box, then run the appropriate method. I.E.

// The click eventhandler for the Copy menu item:
public void ClickHandler(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    if (Form.ActiveForm != null)
    {
        Control o = Form.ActiveForm
        while (o is ContainerControl)
        {
            ContainerControl oContainer = (ContainerControl)o;
            o = oContainer.ActiveControl;
        }
        if (o != null && o is TextBox)
            ((TextBox)o).Copy();
    }
}

Do this for each of your menu Click Eventhandlers.
