Thanks for your reply Will,

I tried changing to a non-movable-modal and cut started working, but not
copy or paste.

Of course, under Windows, it isn't customary for a dialog to have a menu, so
these keyboard shortcuts are supposed to work without a menu.

Thanks again,

Kamm

I just ran into this myself, and I think if your "window" is a
non-movable-modal dialog, then the cut/copy/paste shortcuts work. But if it
is a movable-modal or regular document window, then it needs a menubar (with
an Edit menu) to work.
