Cmd-A doesn't work from Keyboard in Standalone

Aloha, Jacqueline:

Outstanding! thank you... solutions... "Without either a real menu bar "

FYI, this I don't think is explicitely documented (thus my  
consternation over failing cmd keys for several years now...)

All it says is:

"* Putting the / character anywhere in a line makes the next  
character the keyboard equivalent for the menu item. Neither the /  
nor the character following it appear in the menu, nor do they appear  
in the parameter to the menuPick message.

And the tool tips for the Rev Tools all say "Popup menu" "pulldown  
menu" all imply a menu, and other feature of menus as described in  
"Menus and the Menu Bar" topics section *do* work just fine whether  
the button in a group that  is hoisted to menu status or not (e.g.  
cascading behavior) You might consider adding this that topic section  
*and* to each of the  keyword definitions for  Popup, pulldown and  
option buttons.

Thanks you I can now fix this :-)!
