First, we're not all gentlemen here. Some of us are ladies. <s>

The problem with what you're doing is that you have to have the Copy and Paste items available for Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to work. Fortunately, that's easy.

Instead of defining your own, you can use the built-in Copy and Paste items. Specify Bar # for the Result and then use _med_copy and _med_paste for the values.

In general, the easiest way to create a menu in VFP is to first create a quick menu (Menu > Quick Menu in the Menu Designer) and then remove all the things you don't want. They way, you can keep all the built-in bars that you need.

bm2,
copy and paste are in function,
only after you highlight edited text...
