When you make a menu using the Menu Builder, it includes an Edit menu
with the default items (Cut, Copy, Paste etc). If you then use
"Auto-script", you get the shell for the menuPick handler but it does
not include the actual commands.

I have a standard Edit menu script that I put into the script of any
Edit menu. Here it is if you would like to use/modify it.

Cheers,
