Thanks for the info - I know ways to make it work - but I know that in
earlier apps (at least when I was still working with 16 bit apps - The
std:Cut, copy & paste functions were just there - If I was in a text or
entry field I could cut copy or paste in them, and the main menu was
appropriately enabled - I can work out ways of emulating what they should
do in 32 bit - but it seems kind of pointless to have the processes if they
don't work in both 32 and 16 bit. I hadn't checked my older 32 bit apps,
as I had just assumed they work after my experience with them working so
nicely in 16 bit - at least from version 1.000 on - I was just wondering if
this was something recently broken, or something that has been broken all
along and I just didn't notice. I really hope that Topspeed gets its act
together on some of these basic type issues. I really like clarion, but
this kind of stuff is begginning to get beyond annoying.
Thanks again for the help.
