In Rb 5.5.5, F4 will paste into the IDE but *not* into the editfield  
in your built app. It does now in 2007r4 and 2008r1.

Right, which is why I wanted my (already subclassed) Numbers-only  
Ef's to ignore the F4 Key. (Also the F2 key) The MenuHandler route  
works perfectly and still allows Command-V and Command-X.

Right. It also works in AppleWorks, Tex-Edit Plus, BBEdit but not  
many other apps (including TextEdit.
