Hi Terry:

I was all prepared to dismiss Richard's suggestion because I SWEAR I've
tried to do what he said before, but when loading the following as a
frontScript, I get the behavior I want (and I think you do to):

on commandKeyDown K
  if K = "v" then put "A paste occurred"
  wait 20 with messages
  put ""
  pass commandKeyDown
end commandKeyDown

Using Rev 2.8.1 Win/Mac the above seems to work as expected.
