Anyway there is no code in the *key* events for any of these controls.
That's OK.
However, cut and paste work on Mac version of the program compiled with
4.5.3. They do not work on the Windows version of the program compiled with
5.5.2. I can't get RB 5.5.2 to compile an OS X version of my app and when I
try to run the OS 9 version, I get an out of memory error.
Those problems are worth fixing. The OS 9 problem is trivial to fix:
increase the memory allocation to the app (this is in the Build
Settings dialog, Mac panel). I can't guess why it won't build for OS
X without more detail.
My guess is that when you get your app working on the Mac with 5.5.2,
the Edit commands will work just fine there too. That's because Mac
apps always have a menu bar, and unless you've specifically deleted
them, your menu bar contains the appropriate Cut/Copy/Paste commands.
That's why I'm referring to the one I'm running from 4.5.3. I'm
willing to bet that if I compile a Windows version using 4.5.3 that
cut/copy/paste will work.
I'd take you up on that. :)

If you had an app that supported those shortcuts without appropriate menu

Come on Joe... You don't really mean that do you?
Yes, I do.
5. Notice that you can cut/paste/copy with the command keys yet there is no
Edit menu for them.
Actually there is, though it's disabled. But you're right, this is a
special case in that the file dialog is really part of the OS, not
part of the app itself. Apple is neither using the standard menu
manager that apps use, nor following its own guidelines here (and
that is nothing particularly unusual for Apple).
